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 8,646,275, 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 | 8,646,275 | |
| -1 | -8,646,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,646,275.
Example:
1 x 8,646,275 = 8,646,275
and
-1 x -8,646,275 = 8,646,275
Notice both answers equal 8,646,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,646,275 and divide it by 2:
8,646,275 ÷ 2 = 4,323,137.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,323,137.5 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 | 8,646,275 | |
| -1 | -8,646,275 |
Now, we try dividing 8,646,275 by 3:
8,646,275 ÷ 3 = 2,882,091.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,882,091.6667 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 | 8,646,275 | |
| -1 | -8,646,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,646,275 ÷ 4 = 2,161,568.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,161,568.75 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 | 8,646,275 | |
| -1 | 8,646,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 23 | 25 | 55 | 115 | 253 | 275 | 575 | 1,265 | 1,367 | 6,325 | 6,835 | 15,037 | 31,441 | 34,175 | 75,185 | 157,205 | 345,851 | 375,925 | 786,025 | 1,729,255 | 8,646,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -23 | -25 | -55 | -115 | -253 | -275 | -575 | -1,265 | -1,367 | -6,325 | -6,835 | -15,037 | -31,441 | -34,175 | -75,185 | -157,205 | -345,851 | -375,925 | -786,025 | -1,729,255 | -8,646,275 |
