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 8,798,395, 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 | 8,798,395 | |
| -1 | -8,798,395 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,798,395.
Example:
1 x 8,798,395 = 8,798,395
and
-1 x -8,798,395 = 8,798,395
Notice both answers equal 8,798,395
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,798,395 and divide it by 2:
8,798,395 ÷ 2 = 4,399,197.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,399,197.5 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 | 8,798,395 | |
| -1 | -8,798,395 |
Now, we try dividing 8,798,395 by 3:
8,798,395 ÷ 3 = 2,932,798.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,932,798.3333 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 | 8,798,395 | |
| -1 | -8,798,395 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,798,395 ÷ 4 = 2,199,598.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,199,598.75 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 | 8,798,395 | |
| -1 | 8,798,395 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 167 | 205 | 257 | 835 | 1,285 | 6,847 | 10,537 | 34,235 | 42,919 | 52,685 | 214,595 | 1,759,679 | 8,798,395 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -167 | -205 | -257 | -835 | -1,285 | -6,847 | -10,537 | -34,235 | -42,919 | -52,685 | -214,595 | -1,759,679 | -8,798,395 |
