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 8,850,485, 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 | 8,850,485 | |
| -1 | -8,850,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,850,485.
Example:
1 x 8,850,485 = 8,850,485
and
-1 x -8,850,485 = 8,850,485
Notice both answers equal 8,850,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,850,485 and divide it by 2:
8,850,485 ÷ 2 = 4,425,242.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,425,242.5 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 | 8,850,485 | |
| -1 | -8,850,485 |
Now, we try dividing 8,850,485 by 3:
8,850,485 ÷ 3 = 2,950,161.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,950,161.6667 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 | 8,850,485 | |
| -1 | -8,850,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,850,485 ÷ 4 = 2,212,621.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,212,621.25 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 | 8,850,485 | |
| -1 | 8,850,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 13,309 | 66,545 | 93,163 | 252,871 | 465,815 | 1,264,355 | 1,770,097 | 8,850,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -13,309 | -66,545 | -93,163 | -252,871 | -465,815 | -1,264,355 | -1,770,097 | -8,850,485 |
