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 8,834,245, 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 | 8,834,245 | |
| -1 | -8,834,245 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,834,245.
Example:
1 x 8,834,245 = 8,834,245
and
-1 x -8,834,245 = 8,834,245
Notice both answers equal 8,834,245
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,834,245 and divide it by 2:
8,834,245 ÷ 2 = 4,417,122.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,417,122.5 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 | 8,834,245 | |
| -1 | -8,834,245 |
Now, we try dividing 8,834,245 by 3:
8,834,245 ÷ 3 = 2,944,748.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,944,748.3333 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 | 8,834,245 | |
| -1 | -8,834,245 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,834,245 ÷ 4 = 2,208,561.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,208,561.25 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 | 8,834,245 | |
| -1 | 8,834,245 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 173 | 865 | 1,211 | 1,459 | 6,055 | 7,295 | 10,213 | 51,065 | 252,407 | 1,262,035 | 1,766,849 | 8,834,245 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -173 | -865 | -1,211 | -1,459 | -6,055 | -7,295 | -10,213 | -51,065 | -252,407 | -1,262,035 | -1,766,849 | -8,834,245 |
