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 8,764,909, 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 | 8,764,909 | |
| -1 | -8,764,909 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,764,909.
Example:
1 x 8,764,909 = 8,764,909
and
-1 x -8,764,909 = 8,764,909
Notice both answers equal 8,764,909
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,764,909 and divide it by 2:
8,764,909 ÷ 2 = 4,382,454.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,382,454.5 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 | 8,764,909 | |
| -1 | -8,764,909 |
Now, we try dividing 8,764,909 by 3:
8,764,909 ÷ 3 = 2,921,636.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,921,636.3333 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 | 8,764,909 | |
| -1 | -8,764,909 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,764,909 ÷ 4 = 2,191,227.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,191,227.25 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 | 8,764,909 | |
| -1 | 8,764,909 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 31 | 437 | 589 | 647 | 713 | 12,293 | 13,547 | 14,881 | 20,057 | 282,739 | 381,083 | 461,311 | 8,764,909 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -31 | -437 | -589 | -647 | -713 | -12,293 | -13,547 | -14,881 | -20,057 | -282,739 | -381,083 | -461,311 | -8,764,909 |
