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 9,209,453, 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 | 9,209,453 | |
| -1 | -9,209,453 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,209,453.
Example:
1 x 9,209,453 = 9,209,453
and
-1 x -9,209,453 = 9,209,453
Notice both answers equal 9,209,453
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,209,453 and divide it by 2:
9,209,453 ÷ 2 = 4,604,726.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,604,726.5 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 | 9,209,453 | |
| -1 | -9,209,453 |
Now, we try dividing 9,209,453 by 3:
9,209,453 ÷ 3 = 3,069,817.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,069,817.6667 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 | 9,209,453 | |
| -1 | -9,209,453 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,209,453 ÷ 4 = 2,302,363.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,302,363.25 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 | 9,209,453 | |
| -1 | 9,209,453 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 89 | 253 | 409 | 979 | 2,047 | 4,499 | 9,407 | 22,517 | 36,401 | 103,477 | 400,411 | 837,223 | 9,209,453 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -89 | -253 | -409 | -979 | -2,047 | -4,499 | -9,407 | -22,517 | -36,401 | -103,477 | -400,411 | -837,223 | -9,209,453 |
