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 8,977,475, 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 | 8,977,475 | |
| -1 | -8,977,475 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 8,977,475.
Example:
1 x 8,977,475 = 8,977,475
and
-1 x -8,977,475 = 8,977,475
Notice both answers equal 8,977,475
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 8,977,475 and divide it by 2:
8,977,475 ÷ 2 = 4,488,737.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,488,737.5 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 | 8,977,475 | |
| -1 | -8,977,475 |
Now, we try dividing 8,977,475 by 3:
8,977,475 ÷ 3 = 2,992,491.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 2,992,491.6667 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 | 8,977,475 | |
| -1 | -8,977,475 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
8,977,475 ÷ 4 = 2,244,368.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,244,368.75 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 | 8,977,475 | |
| -1 | 8,977,475 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 25 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 325 | 575 | 1,201 | 1,495 | 6,005 | 7,475 | 15,613 | 27,623 | 30,025 | 78,065 | 138,115 | 359,099 | 390,325 | 690,575 | 1,795,495 | 8,977,475 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -25 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -325 | -575 | -1,201 | -1,495 | -6,005 | -7,475 | -15,613 | -27,623 | -30,025 | -78,065 | -138,115 | -359,099 | -390,325 | -690,575 | -1,795,495 | -8,977,475 |
