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 8,794,357, 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 | 8,794,357 | |
| -1 | -8,794,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,794,357.
Example:
1 x 8,794,357 = 8,794,357
and
-1 x -8,794,357 = 8,794,357
Notice both answers equal 8,794,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,794,357 and divide it by 2:
8,794,357 ÷ 2 = 4,397,178.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,397,178.5 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 | 8,794,357 | |
| -1 | -8,794,357 |
Now, we try dividing 8,794,357 by 3:
8,794,357 ÷ 3 = 2,931,452.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,931,452.3333 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 | 8,794,357 | |
| -1 | -8,794,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,794,357 ÷ 4 = 2,198,589.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,198,589.25 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 | 8,794,357 | |
| -1 | 8,794,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 89 | 143 | 691 | 979 | 1,157 | 7,601 | 8,983 | 12,727 | 61,499 | 98,813 | 676,489 | 799,487 | 8,794,357 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -89 | -143 | -691 | -979 | -1,157 | -7,601 | -8,983 | -12,727 | -61,499 | -98,813 | -676,489 | -799,487 | -8,794,357 |
