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 9,154,285, 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 | 9,154,285 | |
| -1 | -9,154,285 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,154,285.
Example:
1 x 9,154,285 = 9,154,285
and
-1 x -9,154,285 = 9,154,285
Notice both answers equal 9,154,285
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,154,285 and divide it by 2:
9,154,285 ÷ 2 = 4,577,142.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,577,142.5 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 | 9,154,285 | |
| -1 | -9,154,285 |
Now, we try dividing 9,154,285 by 3:
9,154,285 ÷ 3 = 3,051,428.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,051,428.3333 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 | 9,154,285 | |
| -1 | -9,154,285 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,154,285 ÷ 4 = 2,288,571.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,288,571.25 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 | 9,154,285 | |
| -1 | 9,154,285 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 29 | 35 | 145 | 203 | 311 | 841 | 1,015 | 1,555 | 2,177 | 4,205 | 5,887 | 9,019 | 10,885 | 29,435 | 45,095 | 63,133 | 261,551 | 315,665 | 1,307,755 | 1,830,857 | 9,154,285 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -29 | -35 | -145 | -203 | -311 | -841 | -1,015 | -1,555 | -2,177 | -4,205 | -5,887 | -9,019 | -10,885 | -29,435 | -45,095 | -63,133 | -261,551 | -315,665 | -1,307,755 | -1,830,857 | -9,154,285 |
