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 8,659,013, 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 | 8,659,013 | |
| -1 | -8,659,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,659,013.
Example:
1 x 8,659,013 = 8,659,013
and
-1 x -8,659,013 = 8,659,013
Notice both answers equal 8,659,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,659,013 and divide it by 2:
8,659,013 ÷ 2 = 4,329,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,329,506.5 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 | 8,659,013 | |
| -1 | -8,659,013 |
Now, we try dividing 8,659,013 by 3:
8,659,013 ÷ 3 = 2,886,337.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,886,337.6667 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 | 8,659,013 | |
| -1 | -8,659,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,659,013 ÷ 4 = 2,164,753.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,164,753.25 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 | 8,659,013 | |
| -1 | 8,659,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 67 | 341 | 379 | 737 | 2,077 | 4,169 | 11,749 | 22,847 | 25,393 | 129,239 | 279,323 | 787,183 | 8,659,013 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -67 | -341 | -379 | -737 | -2,077 | -4,169 | -11,749 | -22,847 | -25,393 | -129,239 | -279,323 | -787,183 | -8,659,013 |
