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 9,005,059, 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 | 9,005,059 | |
| -1 | -9,005,059 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,005,059.
Example:
1 x 9,005,059 = 9,005,059
and
-1 x -9,005,059 = 9,005,059
Notice both answers equal 9,005,059
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,005,059 and divide it by 2:
9,005,059 ÷ 2 = 4,502,529.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,502,529.5 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 | 9,005,059 | |
| -1 | -9,005,059 |
Now, we try dividing 9,005,059 by 3:
9,005,059 ÷ 3 = 3,001,686.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,001,686.3333 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 | 9,005,059 | |
| -1 | -9,005,059 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,005,059 ÷ 4 = 2,251,264.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,251,264.75 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 | 9,005,059 | |
| -1 | 9,005,059 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 47 | 101 | 271 | 329 | 707 | 1,897 | 4,747 | 12,737 | 27,371 | 33,229 | 89,159 | 191,597 | 1,286,437 | 9,005,059 |
| -1 | -7 | -47 | -101 | -271 | -329 | -707 | -1,897 | -4,747 | -12,737 | -27,371 | -33,229 | -89,159 | -191,597 | -1,286,437 | -9,005,059 |
