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 8,581,963, 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 | 8,581,963 | |
| -1 | -8,581,963 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,581,963.
Example:
1 x 8,581,963 = 8,581,963
and
-1 x -8,581,963 = 8,581,963
Notice both answers equal 8,581,963
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,581,963 and divide it by 2:
8,581,963 ÷ 2 = 4,290,981.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,290,981.5 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 | 8,581,963 | |
| -1 | -8,581,963 |
Now, we try dividing 8,581,963 by 3:
8,581,963 ÷ 3 = 2,860,654.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,860,654.3333 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 | 8,581,963 | |
| -1 | -8,581,963 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,581,963 ÷ 4 = 2,145,490.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,145,490.75 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 | 8,581,963 | |
| -1 | 8,581,963 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 67 | 167 | 767 | 871 | 2,171 | 3,953 | 9,853 | 11,189 | 51,389 | 128,089 | 145,457 | 660,151 | 8,581,963 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -67 | -167 | -767 | -871 | -2,171 | -3,953 | -9,853 | -11,189 | -51,389 | -128,089 | -145,457 | -660,151 | -8,581,963 |
