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 8,580,565, 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 | 8,580,565 | |
| -1 | -8,580,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,580,565.
Example:
1 x 8,580,565 = 8,580,565
and
-1 x -8,580,565 = 8,580,565
Notice both answers equal 8,580,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,580,565 and divide it by 2:
8,580,565 ÷ 2 = 4,290,282.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,290,282.5 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 | 8,580,565 | |
| -1 | -8,580,565 |
Now, we try dividing 8,580,565 by 3:
8,580,565 ÷ 3 = 2,860,188.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,860,188.3333 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 | 8,580,565 | |
| -1 | -8,580,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,580,565 ÷ 4 = 2,145,141.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,145,141.25 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 | 8,580,565 | |
| -1 | 8,580,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 61 | 305 | 427 | 2,135 | 4,019 | 20,095 | 28,133 | 140,665 | 245,159 | 1,225,795 | 1,716,113 | 8,580,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -61 | -305 | -427 | -2,135 | -4,019 | -20,095 | -28,133 | -140,665 | -245,159 | -1,225,795 | -1,716,113 | -8,580,565 |
