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 8,708,555, 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 | 8,708,555 | |
| -1 | -8,708,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,708,555.
Example:
1 x 8,708,555 = 8,708,555
and
-1 x -8,708,555 = 8,708,555
Notice both answers equal 8,708,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,708,555 and divide it by 2:
8,708,555 ÷ 2 = 4,354,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,354,277.5 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 | 8,708,555 | |
| -1 | -8,708,555 |
Now, we try dividing 8,708,555 by 3:
8,708,555 ÷ 3 = 2,902,851.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,902,851.6667 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 | 8,708,555 | |
| -1 | -8,708,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,708,555 ÷ 4 = 2,177,138.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,177,138.75 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 | 8,708,555 | |
| -1 | 8,708,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 29 | 95 | 109 | 145 | 545 | 551 | 841 | 2,071 | 2,755 | 3,161 | 4,205 | 10,355 | 15,805 | 15,979 | 60,059 | 79,895 | 91,669 | 300,295 | 458,345 | 1,741,711 | 8,708,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -29 | -95 | -109 | -145 | -545 | -551 | -841 | -2,071 | -2,755 | -3,161 | -4,205 | -10,355 | -15,805 | -15,979 | -60,059 | -79,895 | -91,669 | -300,295 | -458,345 | -1,741,711 | -8,708,555 |
