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 8,934,965, 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 | 8,934,965 | |
| -1 | -8,934,965 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,934,965.
Example:
1 x 8,934,965 = 8,934,965
and
-1 x -8,934,965 = 8,934,965
Notice both answers equal 8,934,965
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,934,965 and divide it by 2:
8,934,965 ÷ 2 = 4,467,482.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,467,482.5 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 | 8,934,965 | |
| -1 | -8,934,965 |
Now, we try dividing 8,934,965 by 3:
8,934,965 ÷ 3 = 2,978,321.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,978,321.6667 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 | 8,934,965 | |
| -1 | -8,934,965 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,934,965 ÷ 4 = 2,233,741.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,233,741.25 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 | 8,934,965 | |
| -1 | 8,934,965 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 101 | 505 | 1,313 | 1,361 | 6,565 | 6,805 | 17,693 | 88,465 | 137,461 | 687,305 | 1,786,993 | 8,934,965 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -101 | -505 | -1,313 | -1,361 | -6,565 | -6,805 | -17,693 | -88,465 | -137,461 | -687,305 | -1,786,993 | -8,934,965 |
