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 8,976,175, 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 | 8,976,175 | |
| -1 | -8,976,175 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,976,175.
Example:
1 x 8,976,175 = 8,976,175
and
-1 x -8,976,175 = 8,976,175
Notice both answers equal 8,976,175
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,976,175 and divide it by 2:
8,976,175 ÷ 2 = 4,488,087.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,488,087.5 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 | 8,976,175 | |
| -1 | -8,976,175 |
Now, we try dividing 8,976,175 by 3:
8,976,175 ÷ 3 = 2,992,058.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,992,058.3333 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 | 8,976,175 | |
| -1 | -8,976,175 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,976,175 ÷ 4 = 2,244,043.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,244,043.75 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 | 8,976,175 | |
| -1 | 8,976,175 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 71 | 325 | 355 | 389 | 923 | 1,775 | 1,945 | 4,615 | 5,057 | 9,725 | 23,075 | 25,285 | 27,619 | 126,425 | 138,095 | 359,047 | 690,475 | 1,795,235 | 8,976,175 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -71 | -325 | -355 | -389 | -923 | -1,775 | -1,945 | -4,615 | -5,057 | -9,725 | -23,075 | -25,285 | -27,619 | -126,425 | -138,095 | -359,047 | -690,475 | -1,795,235 | -8,976,175 |
