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 8,892,605, 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 | 8,892,605 | |
| -1 | -8,892,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,892,605.
Example:
1 x 8,892,605 = 8,892,605
and
-1 x -8,892,605 = 8,892,605
Notice both answers equal 8,892,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,892,605 and divide it by 2:
8,892,605 ÷ 2 = 4,446,302.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,446,302.5 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 | 8,892,605 | |
| -1 | -8,892,605 |
Now, we try dividing 8,892,605 by 3:
8,892,605 ÷ 3 = 2,964,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,964,201.6667 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 | 8,892,605 | |
| -1 | -8,892,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,892,605 ÷ 4 = 2,223,151.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,223,151.25 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 | 8,892,605 | |
| -1 | 8,892,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 53 | 115 | 265 | 1,219 | 1,459 | 6,095 | 7,295 | 33,557 | 77,327 | 167,785 | 386,635 | 1,778,521 | 8,892,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -53 | -115 | -265 | -1,219 | -1,459 | -6,095 | -7,295 | -33,557 | -77,327 | -167,785 | -386,635 | -1,778,521 | -8,892,605 |
