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 8,816,465, 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 | 8,816,465 | |
| -1 | -8,816,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,816,465.
Example:
1 x 8,816,465 = 8,816,465
and
-1 x -8,816,465 = 8,816,465
Notice both answers equal 8,816,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,816,465 and divide it by 2:
8,816,465 ÷ 2 = 4,408,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,408,232.5 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 | 8,816,465 | |
| -1 | -8,816,465 |
Now, we try dividing 8,816,465 by 3:
8,816,465 ÷ 3 = 2,938,821.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,938,821.6667 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 | 8,816,465 | |
| -1 | -8,816,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,816,465 ÷ 4 = 2,204,116.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,204,116.25 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 | 8,816,465 | |
| -1 | 8,816,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 109 | 545 | 763 | 2,311 | 3,815 | 11,555 | 16,177 | 80,885 | 251,899 | 1,259,495 | 1,763,293 | 8,816,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -109 | -545 | -763 | -2,311 | -3,815 | -11,555 | -16,177 | -80,885 | -251,899 | -1,259,495 | -1,763,293 | -8,816,465 |
