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 8,961,293, 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 | 8,961,293 | |
| -1 | -8,961,293 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,961,293.
Example:
1 x 8,961,293 = 8,961,293
and
-1 x -8,961,293 = 8,961,293
Notice both answers equal 8,961,293
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,961,293 and divide it by 2:
8,961,293 ÷ 2 = 4,480,646.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,480,646.5 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 | 8,961,293 | |
| -1 | -8,961,293 |
Now, we try dividing 8,961,293 by 3:
8,961,293 ÷ 3 = 2,987,097.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,987,097.6667 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 | 8,961,293 | |
| -1 | -8,961,293 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,961,293 ÷ 4 = 2,240,323.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,240,323.25 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 | 8,961,293 | |
| -1 | 8,961,293 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 53 | 209 | 583 | 809 | 1,007 | 8,899 | 11,077 | 15,371 | 42,877 | 169,081 | 471,647 | 814,663 | 8,961,293 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -53 | -209 | -583 | -809 | -1,007 | -8,899 | -11,077 | -15,371 | -42,877 | -169,081 | -471,647 | -814,663 | -8,961,293 |
