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 8,713,367, 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 | 8,713,367 | |
| -1 | -8,713,367 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,713,367.
Example:
1 x 8,713,367 = 8,713,367
and
-1 x -8,713,367 = 8,713,367
Notice both answers equal 8,713,367
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,713,367 and divide it by 2:
8,713,367 ÷ 2 = 4,356,683.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,356,683.5 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 | 8,713,367 | |
| -1 | -8,713,367 |
Now, we try dividing 8,713,367 by 3:
8,713,367 ÷ 3 = 2,904,455.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,904,455.6667 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 | 8,713,367 | |
| -1 | -8,713,367 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,713,367 ÷ 4 = 2,178,341.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,178,341.75 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 | 8,713,367 | |
| -1 | 8,713,367 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 89 | 221 | 443 | 1,157 | 1,513 | 5,759 | 7,531 | 19,669 | 39,427 | 97,903 | 512,551 | 670,259 | 8,713,367 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -89 | -221 | -443 | -1,157 | -1,513 | -5,759 | -7,531 | -19,669 | -39,427 | -97,903 | -512,551 | -670,259 | -8,713,367 |
