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 8,893,975, 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 | 8,893,975 | |
| -1 | -8,893,975 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,893,975.
Example:
1 x 8,893,975 = 8,893,975
and
-1 x -8,893,975 = 8,893,975
Notice both answers equal 8,893,975
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,893,975 and divide it by 2:
8,893,975 ÷ 2 = 4,446,987.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,446,987.5 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 | 8,893,975 | |
| -1 | -8,893,975 |
Now, we try dividing 8,893,975 by 3:
8,893,975 ÷ 3 = 2,964,658.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,964,658.3333 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 | 8,893,975 | |
| -1 | -8,893,975 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,893,975 ÷ 4 = 2,223,493.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,223,493.75 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 | 8,893,975 | |
| -1 | 8,893,975 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 85 | 289 | 425 | 1,231 | 1,445 | 6,155 | 7,225 | 20,927 | 30,775 | 104,635 | 355,759 | 523,175 | 1,778,795 | 8,893,975 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -85 | -289 | -425 | -1,231 | -1,445 | -6,155 | -7,225 | -20,927 | -30,775 | -104,635 | -355,759 | -523,175 | -1,778,795 | -8,893,975 |
