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 8,976,325, 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 | 8,976,325 | |
| -1 | -8,976,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,976,325.
Example:
1 x 8,976,325 = 8,976,325
and
-1 x -8,976,325 = 8,976,325
Notice both answers equal 8,976,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,976,325 and divide it by 2:
8,976,325 ÷ 2 = 4,488,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,488,162.5 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 | 8,976,325 | |
| -1 | -8,976,325 |
Now, we try dividing 8,976,325 by 3:
8,976,325 ÷ 3 = 2,992,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,992,108.3333 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 | 8,976,325 | |
| -1 | -8,976,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,976,325 ÷ 4 = 2,244,081.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,244,081.25 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 | 8,976,325 | |
| -1 | 8,976,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 25 | 67 | 115 | 233 | 335 | 575 | 1,165 | 1,541 | 1,675 | 5,359 | 5,825 | 7,705 | 15,611 | 26,795 | 38,525 | 78,055 | 133,975 | 359,053 | 390,275 | 1,795,265 | 8,976,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -25 | -67 | -115 | -233 | -335 | -575 | -1,165 | -1,541 | -1,675 | -5,359 | -5,825 | -7,705 | -15,611 | -26,795 | -38,525 | -78,055 | -133,975 | -359,053 | -390,275 | -1,795,265 | -8,976,325 |
