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 8,809,301, 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 | 8,809,301 | |
| -1 | -8,809,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,809,301.
Example:
1 x 8,809,301 = 8,809,301
and
-1 x -8,809,301 = 8,809,301
Notice both answers equal 8,809,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,809,301 and divide it by 2:
8,809,301 ÷ 2 = 4,404,650.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,404,650.5 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 | 8,809,301 | |
| -1 | -8,809,301 |
Now, we try dividing 8,809,301 by 3:
8,809,301 ÷ 3 = 2,936,433.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,936,433.6667 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 | 8,809,301 | |
| -1 | -8,809,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,809,301 ÷ 4 = 2,202,325.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,202,325.25 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 | 8,809,301 | |
| -1 | 8,809,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 31 | 41 | 239 | 899 | 1,189 | 1,271 | 6,931 | 7,409 | 9,799 | 36,859 | 214,861 | 284,171 | 303,769 | 8,809,301 |
| -1 | -29 | -31 | -41 | -239 | -899 | -1,189 | -1,271 | -6,931 | -7,409 | -9,799 | -36,859 | -214,861 | -284,171 | -303,769 | -8,809,301 |
