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 8,568,805, 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 | 8,568,805 | |
| -1 | -8,568,805 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,568,805.
Example:
1 x 8,568,805 = 8,568,805
and
-1 x -8,568,805 = 8,568,805
Notice both answers equal 8,568,805
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,568,805 and divide it by 2:
8,568,805 ÷ 2 = 4,284,402.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,284,402.5 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 | 8,568,805 | |
| -1 | -8,568,805 |
Now, we try dividing 8,568,805 by 3:
8,568,805 ÷ 3 = 2,856,268.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,856,268.3333 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 | 8,568,805 | |
| -1 | -8,568,805 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,568,805 ÷ 4 = 2,142,201.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,142,201.25 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 | 8,568,805 | |
| -1 | 8,568,805 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 47 | 235 | 329 | 1,645 | 5,209 | 26,045 | 36,463 | 182,315 | 244,823 | 1,224,115 | 1,713,761 | 8,568,805 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -47 | -235 | -329 | -1,645 | -5,209 | -26,045 | -36,463 | -182,315 | -244,823 | -1,224,115 | -1,713,761 | -8,568,805 |
