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 8,860,805, 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 | 8,860,805 | |
| -1 | -8,860,805 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,860,805.
Example:
1 x 8,860,805 = 8,860,805
and
-1 x -8,860,805 = 8,860,805
Notice both answers equal 8,860,805
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,860,805 and divide it by 2:
8,860,805 ÷ 2 = 4,430,402.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,430,402.5 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 | 8,860,805 | |
| -1 | -8,860,805 |
Now, we try dividing 8,860,805 by 3:
8,860,805 ÷ 3 = 2,953,601.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,953,601.6667 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 | 8,860,805 | |
| -1 | -8,860,805 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,860,805 ÷ 4 = 2,215,201.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,215,201.25 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 | 8,860,805 | |
| -1 | 8,860,805 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 53 | 145 | 265 | 1,153 | 1,537 | 5,765 | 7,685 | 33,437 | 61,109 | 167,185 | 305,545 | 1,772,161 | 8,860,805 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -53 | -145 | -265 | -1,153 | -1,537 | -5,765 | -7,685 | -33,437 | -61,109 | -167,185 | -305,545 | -1,772,161 | -8,860,805 |
