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 9,218,165, 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 | 9,218,165 | |
| -1 | -9,218,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,218,165.
Example:
1 x 9,218,165 = 9,218,165
and
-1 x -9,218,165 = 9,218,165
Notice both answers equal 9,218,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,218,165 and divide it by 2:
9,218,165 ÷ 2 = 4,609,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,609,082.5 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 | 9,218,165 | |
| -1 | -9,218,165 |
Now, we try dividing 9,218,165 by 3:
9,218,165 ÷ 3 = 3,072,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,072,721.6667 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 | 9,218,165 | |
| -1 | -9,218,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,218,165 ÷ 4 = 2,304,541.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,304,541.25 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 | 9,218,165 | |
| -1 | 9,218,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 935 | 9,859 | 49,295 | 108,449 | 167,603 | 542,245 | 838,015 | 1,843,633 | 9,218,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -935 | -9,859 | -49,295 | -108,449 | -167,603 | -542,245 | -838,015 | -1,843,633 | -9,218,165 |
