Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 8,554,807, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 8,554,807 | |
| -1 | -8,554,807 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,554,807.
Example:
1 x 8,554,807 = 8,554,807
and
-1 x -8,554,807 = 8,554,807
Notice both answers equal 8,554,807
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,554,807 and divide it by 2:
8,554,807 ÷ 2 = 4,277,403.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,277,403.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 8,554,807 | |
| -1 | -8,554,807 |
Now, we try dividing 8,554,807 by 3:
8,554,807 ÷ 3 = 2,851,602.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,851,602.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 8,554,807 | |
| -1 | -8,554,807 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,554,807 ÷ 4 = 2,138,701.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,138,701.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 8,554,807 | |
| -1 | 8,554,807 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 43 | 283 | 703 | 817 | 1,591 | 5,377 | 10,471 | 12,169 | 30,229 | 198,949 | 231,211 | 450,253 | 8,554,807 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -43 | -283 | -703 | -817 | -1,591 | -5,377 | -10,471 | -12,169 | -30,229 | -198,949 | -231,211 | -450,253 | -8,554,807 |
