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 8,630,825, 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 | 8,630,825 | |
| -1 | -8,630,825 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,630,825.
Example:
1 x 8,630,825 = 8,630,825
and
-1 x -8,630,825 = 8,630,825
Notice both answers equal 8,630,825
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,630,825 and divide it by 2:
8,630,825 ÷ 2 = 4,315,412.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,315,412.5 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 | 8,630,825 | |
| -1 | -8,630,825 |
Now, we try dividing 8,630,825 by 3:
8,630,825 ÷ 3 = 2,876,941.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,876,941.6667 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 | 8,630,825 | |
| -1 | -8,630,825 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,630,825 ÷ 4 = 2,157,706.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,157,706.25 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 | 8,630,825 | |
| -1 | 8,630,825 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 149 | 175 | 331 | 745 | 1,043 | 1,655 | 2,317 | 3,725 | 5,215 | 8,275 | 11,585 | 26,075 | 49,319 | 57,925 | 246,595 | 345,233 | 1,232,975 | 1,726,165 | 8,630,825 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -149 | -175 | -331 | -745 | -1,043 | -1,655 | -2,317 | -3,725 | -5,215 | -8,275 | -11,585 | -26,075 | -49,319 | -57,925 | -246,595 | -345,233 | -1,232,975 | -1,726,165 | -8,630,825 |
