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 8,927,465, 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 | 8,927,465 | |
| -1 | -8,927,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,927,465.
Example:
1 x 8,927,465 = 8,927,465
and
-1 x -8,927,465 = 8,927,465
Notice both answers equal 8,927,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,927,465 and divide it by 2:
8,927,465 ÷ 2 = 4,463,732.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,463,732.5 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 | 8,927,465 | |
| -1 | -8,927,465 |
Now, we try dividing 8,927,465 by 3:
8,927,465 ÷ 3 = 2,975,821.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,975,821.6667 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 | 8,927,465 | |
| -1 | -8,927,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,927,465 ÷ 4 = 2,231,866.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,231,866.25 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 | 8,927,465 | |
| -1 | 8,927,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 127 | 635 | 827 | 2,159 | 4,135 | 10,795 | 14,059 | 70,295 | 105,029 | 525,145 | 1,785,493 | 8,927,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -127 | -635 | -827 | -2,159 | -4,135 | -10,795 | -14,059 | -70,295 | -105,029 | -525,145 | -1,785,493 | -8,927,465 |
