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 8,904,841, 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 | 8,904,841 | |
| -1 | -8,904,841 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,904,841.
Example:
1 x 8,904,841 = 8,904,841
and
-1 x -8,904,841 = 8,904,841
Notice both answers equal 8,904,841
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,904,841 and divide it by 2:
8,904,841 ÷ 2 = 4,452,420.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,452,420.5 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 | 8,904,841 | |
| -1 | -8,904,841 |
Now, we try dividing 8,904,841 by 3:
8,904,841 ÷ 3 = 2,968,280.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,968,280.3333 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 | 8,904,841 | |
| -1 | -8,904,841 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,904,841 ÷ 4 = 2,226,210.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,226,210.25 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 | 8,904,841 | |
| -1 | 8,904,841 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 61 | 253 | 577 | 671 | 1,403 | 6,347 | 13,271 | 15,433 | 35,197 | 145,981 | 387,167 | 809,531 | 8,904,841 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -61 | -253 | -577 | -671 | -1,403 | -6,347 | -13,271 | -15,433 | -35,197 | -145,981 | -387,167 | -809,531 | -8,904,841 |
