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 8,858,839, 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 | 8,858,839 | |
| -1 | -8,858,839 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,858,839.
Example:
1 x 8,858,839 = 8,858,839
and
-1 x -8,858,839 = 8,858,839
Notice both answers equal 8,858,839
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,858,839 and divide it by 2:
8,858,839 ÷ 2 = 4,429,419.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,429,419.5 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 | 8,858,839 | |
| -1 | -8,858,839 |
Now, we try dividing 8,858,839 by 3:
8,858,839 ÷ 3 = 2,952,946.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,952,946.3333 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 | 8,858,839 | |
| -1 | -8,858,839 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,858,839 ÷ 4 = 2,214,709.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,214,709.75 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 | 8,858,839 | |
| -1 | 8,858,839 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 83 | 313 | 341 | 913 | 2,573 | 3,443 | 9,703 | 25,979 | 28,303 | 106,733 | 285,769 | 805,349 | 8,858,839 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -83 | -313 | -341 | -913 | -2,573 | -3,443 | -9,703 | -25,979 | -28,303 | -106,733 | -285,769 | -805,349 | -8,858,839 |
