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 9,154,943, 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 | 9,154,943 | |
| -1 | -9,154,943 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,154,943.
Example:
1 x 9,154,943 = 9,154,943
and
-1 x -9,154,943 = 9,154,943
Notice both answers equal 9,154,943
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,154,943 and divide it by 2:
9,154,943 ÷ 2 = 4,577,471.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,577,471.5 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 | 9,154,943 | |
| -1 | -9,154,943 |
Now, we try dividing 9,154,943 by 3:
9,154,943 ÷ 3 = 3,051,647.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,051,647.6667 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 | 9,154,943 | |
| -1 | -9,154,943 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,154,943 ÷ 4 = 2,288,735.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,288,735.75 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 | 9,154,943 | |
| -1 | 9,154,943 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 101 | 161 | 563 | 707 | 2,323 | 3,941 | 12,949 | 16,261 | 56,863 | 90,643 | 398,041 | 1,307,849 | 9,154,943 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -101 | -161 | -563 | -707 | -2,323 | -3,941 | -12,949 | -16,261 | -56,863 | -90,643 | -398,041 | -1,307,849 | -9,154,943 |
