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 8,594,425, 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 | 8,594,425 | |
| -1 | -8,594,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,594,425.
Example:
1 x 8,594,425 = 8,594,425
and
-1 x -8,594,425 = 8,594,425
Notice both answers equal 8,594,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,594,425 and divide it by 2:
8,594,425 ÷ 2 = 4,297,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,297,212.5 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 | 8,594,425 | |
| -1 | -8,594,425 |
Now, we try dividing 8,594,425 by 3:
8,594,425 ÷ 3 = 2,864,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,864,808.3333 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 | 8,594,425 | |
| -1 | -8,594,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,594,425 ÷ 4 = 2,148,606.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,148,606.25 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 | 8,594,425 | |
| -1 | 8,594,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 67 | 175 | 335 | 469 | 733 | 1,675 | 2,345 | 3,665 | 5,131 | 11,725 | 18,325 | 25,655 | 49,111 | 128,275 | 245,555 | 343,777 | 1,227,775 | 1,718,885 | 8,594,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -67 | -175 | -335 | -469 | -733 | -1,675 | -2,345 | -3,665 | -5,131 | -11,725 | -18,325 | -25,655 | -49,111 | -128,275 | -245,555 | -343,777 | -1,227,775 | -1,718,885 | -8,594,425 |
