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 8,832,677, 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 | 8,832,677 | |
| -1 | -8,832,677 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,832,677.
Example:
1 x 8,832,677 = 8,832,677
and
-1 x -8,832,677 = 8,832,677
Notice both answers equal 8,832,677
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,832,677 and divide it by 2:
8,832,677 ÷ 2 = 4,416,338.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,416,338.5 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 | 8,832,677 | |
| -1 | -8,832,677 |
Now, we try dividing 8,832,677 by 3:
8,832,677 ÷ 3 = 2,944,225.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,944,225.6667 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 | 8,832,677 | |
| -1 | -8,832,677 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,832,677 ÷ 4 = 2,208,169.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,208,169.25 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 | 8,832,677 | |
| -1 | 8,832,677 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 67 | 259 | 469 | 509 | 2,479 | 3,563 | 17,353 | 18,833 | 34,103 | 131,831 | 238,721 | 1,261,811 | 8,832,677 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -67 | -259 | -469 | -509 | -2,479 | -3,563 | -17,353 | -18,833 | -34,103 | -131,831 | -238,721 | -1,261,811 | -8,832,677 |
