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 8,743,525, 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 | 8,743,525 | |
| -1 | -8,743,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,743,525.
Example:
1 x 8,743,525 = 8,743,525
and
-1 x -8,743,525 = 8,743,525
Notice both answers equal 8,743,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,743,525 and divide it by 2:
8,743,525 ÷ 2 = 4,371,762.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,371,762.5 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 | 8,743,525 | |
| -1 | -8,743,525 |
Now, we try dividing 8,743,525 by 3:
8,743,525 ÷ 3 = 2,914,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,914,508.3333 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 | 8,743,525 | |
| -1 | -8,743,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,743,525 ÷ 4 = 2,185,881.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,185,881.25 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 | 8,743,525 | |
| -1 | 8,743,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 25 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 175 | 425 | 595 | 2,939 | 2,975 | 14,695 | 20,573 | 49,963 | 73,475 | 102,865 | 249,815 | 349,741 | 514,325 | 1,249,075 | 1,748,705 | 8,743,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -25 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -175 | -425 | -595 | -2,939 | -2,975 | -14,695 | -20,573 | -49,963 | -73,475 | -102,865 | -249,815 | -349,741 | -514,325 | -1,249,075 | -1,748,705 | -8,743,525 |
