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 8,624,063, 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 | 8,624,063 | |
| -1 | -8,624,063 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,624,063.
Example:
1 x 8,624,063 = 8,624,063
and
-1 x -8,624,063 = 8,624,063
Notice both answers equal 8,624,063
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,624,063 and divide it by 2:
8,624,063 ÷ 2 = 4,312,031.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,312,031.5 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 | 8,624,063 | |
| -1 | -8,624,063 |
Now, we try dividing 8,624,063 by 3:
8,624,063 ÷ 3 = 2,874,687.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,874,687.6667 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 | 8,624,063 | |
| -1 | -8,624,063 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,624,063 ÷ 4 = 2,156,015.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,156,015.75 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 | 8,624,063 | |
| -1 | 8,624,063 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 151 | 199 | 287 | 1,057 | 1,393 | 6,191 | 8,159 | 30,049 | 43,337 | 57,113 | 210,343 | 1,232,009 | 8,624,063 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -151 | -199 | -287 | -1,057 | -1,393 | -6,191 | -8,159 | -30,049 | -43,337 | -57,113 | -210,343 | -1,232,009 | -8,624,063 |
