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 8,849,365, 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 | 8,849,365 | |
| -1 | -8,849,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,849,365.
Example:
1 x 8,849,365 = 8,849,365
and
-1 x -8,849,365 = 8,849,365
Notice both answers equal 8,849,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,849,365 and divide it by 2:
8,849,365 ÷ 2 = 4,424,682.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,424,682.5 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 | 8,849,365 | |
| -1 | -8,849,365 |
Now, we try dividing 8,849,365 by 3:
8,849,365 ÷ 3 = 2,949,788.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,949,788.3333 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 | 8,849,365 | |
| -1 | -8,849,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,849,365 ÷ 4 = 2,212,341.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,212,341.25 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 | 8,849,365 | |
| -1 | 8,849,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 115 | 161 | 805 | 10,993 | 54,965 | 76,951 | 252,839 | 384,755 | 1,264,195 | 1,769,873 | 8,849,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -115 | -161 | -805 | -10,993 | -54,965 | -76,951 | -252,839 | -384,755 | -1,264,195 | -1,769,873 | -8,849,365 |
