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 8,802,935, 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 | 8,802,935 | |
| -1 | -8,802,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,802,935.
Example:
1 x 8,802,935 = 8,802,935
and
-1 x -8,802,935 = 8,802,935
Notice both answers equal 8,802,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,802,935 and divide it by 2:
8,802,935 ÷ 2 = 4,401,467.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,401,467.5 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 | 8,802,935 | |
| -1 | -8,802,935 |
Now, we try dividing 8,802,935 by 3:
8,802,935 ÷ 3 = 2,934,311.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,934,311.6667 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 | 8,802,935 | |
| -1 | -8,802,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,802,935 ÷ 4 = 2,200,733.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,200,733.75 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 | 8,802,935 | |
| -1 | 8,802,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 71 | 137 | 181 | 355 | 685 | 905 | 9,727 | 12,851 | 24,797 | 48,635 | 64,255 | 123,985 | 1,760,587 | 8,802,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -71 | -137 | -181 | -355 | -685 | -905 | -9,727 | -12,851 | -24,797 | -48,635 | -64,255 | -123,985 | -1,760,587 | -8,802,935 |
