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 8,942,353, 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 | 8,942,353 | |
| -1 | -8,942,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,942,353.
Example:
1 x 8,942,353 = 8,942,353
and
-1 x -8,942,353 = 8,942,353
Notice both answers equal 8,942,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,942,353 and divide it by 2:
8,942,353 ÷ 2 = 4,471,176.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,471,176.5 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 | 8,942,353 | |
| -1 | -8,942,353 |
Now, we try dividing 8,942,353 by 3:
8,942,353 ÷ 3 = 2,980,784.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,980,784.3333 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 | 8,942,353 | |
| -1 | -8,942,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,942,353 ÷ 4 = 2,235,588.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,235,588.25 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 | 8,942,353 | |
| -1 | 8,942,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 31 | 49 | 203 | 217 | 343 | 841 | 899 | 1,421 | 1,519 | 5,887 | 6,293 | 9,947 | 10,633 | 26,071 | 41,209 | 44,051 | 182,497 | 288,463 | 308,357 | 1,277,479 | 8,942,353 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -31 | -49 | -203 | -217 | -343 | -841 | -899 | -1,421 | -1,519 | -5,887 | -6,293 | -9,947 | -10,633 | -26,071 | -41,209 | -44,051 | -182,497 | -288,463 | -308,357 | -1,277,479 | -8,942,353 |
