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 8,683,759, 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 | 8,683,759 | |
| -1 | -8,683,759 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,683,759.
Example:
1 x 8,683,759 = 8,683,759
and
-1 x -8,683,759 = 8,683,759
Notice both answers equal 8,683,759
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,683,759 and divide it by 2:
8,683,759 ÷ 2 = 4,341,879.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,341,879.5 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 | 8,683,759 | |
| -1 | -8,683,759 |
Now, we try dividing 8,683,759 by 3:
8,683,759 ÷ 3 = 2,894,586.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,894,586.3333 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 | 8,683,759 | |
| -1 | -8,683,759 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,683,759 ÷ 4 = 2,170,939.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,170,939.75 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 | 8,683,759 | |
| -1 | 8,683,759 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 41 | 79 | 287 | 383 | 553 | 2,681 | 3,239 | 15,703 | 22,673 | 30,257 | 109,921 | 211,799 | 1,240,537 | 8,683,759 |
| -1 | -7 | -41 | -79 | -287 | -383 | -553 | -2,681 | -3,239 | -15,703 | -22,673 | -30,257 | -109,921 | -211,799 | -1,240,537 | -8,683,759 |
