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 9,174,347, 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 | 9,174,347 | |
| -1 | -9,174,347 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,174,347.
Example:
1 x 9,174,347 = 9,174,347
and
-1 x -9,174,347 = 9,174,347
Notice both answers equal 9,174,347
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,174,347 and divide it by 2:
9,174,347 ÷ 2 = 4,587,173.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,587,173.5 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 | 9,174,347 | |
| -1 | -9,174,347 |
Now, we try dividing 9,174,347 by 3:
9,174,347 ÷ 3 = 3,058,115.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,058,115.6667 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 | 9,174,347 | |
| -1 | -9,174,347 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,174,347 ÷ 4 = 2,293,586.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,293,586.75 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 | 9,174,347 | |
| -1 | 9,174,347 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 181 | 557 | 1,267 | 2,353 | 3,899 | 7,241 | 16,471 | 50,687 | 100,817 | 705,719 | 1,310,621 | 9,174,347 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -181 | -557 | -1,267 | -2,353 | -3,899 | -7,241 | -16,471 | -50,687 | -100,817 | -705,719 | -1,310,621 | -9,174,347 |
