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 8,606,125, 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 | 8,606,125 | |
| -1 | -8,606,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,606,125.
Example:
1 x 8,606,125 = 8,606,125
and
-1 x -8,606,125 = 8,606,125
Notice both answers equal 8,606,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,606,125 and divide it by 2:
8,606,125 ÷ 2 = 4,303,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,303,062.5 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 | 8,606,125 | |
| -1 | -8,606,125 |
Now, we try dividing 8,606,125 by 3:
8,606,125 ÷ 3 = 2,868,708.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,868,708.3333 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 | 8,606,125 | |
| -1 | -8,606,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,606,125 ÷ 4 = 2,151,531.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,151,531.25 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 | 8,606,125 | |
| -1 | 8,606,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 121 | 125 | 275 | 569 | 605 | 1,375 | 2,845 | 3,025 | 6,259 | 14,225 | 15,125 | 31,295 | 68,849 | 71,125 | 156,475 | 344,245 | 782,375 | 1,721,225 | 8,606,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -121 | -125 | -275 | -569 | -605 | -1,375 | -2,845 | -3,025 | -6,259 | -14,225 | -15,125 | -31,295 | -68,849 | -71,125 | -156,475 | -344,245 | -782,375 | -1,721,225 | -8,606,125 |
