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 9,234,365, 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 | 9,234,365 | |
| -1 | -9,234,365 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,234,365.
Example:
1 x 9,234,365 = 9,234,365
and
-1 x -9,234,365 = 9,234,365
Notice both answers equal 9,234,365
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,234,365 and divide it by 2:
9,234,365 ÷ 2 = 4,617,182.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,617,182.5 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 | 9,234,365 | |
| -1 | -9,234,365 |
Now, we try dividing 9,234,365 by 3:
9,234,365 ÷ 3 = 3,078,121.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,078,121.6667 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 | 9,234,365 | |
| -1 | -9,234,365 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,234,365 ÷ 4 = 2,308,591.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,308,591.25 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 | 9,234,365 | |
| -1 | 9,234,365 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 439 | 601 | 2,195 | 3,005 | 3,073 | 4,207 | 15,365 | 21,035 | 263,839 | 1,319,195 | 1,846,873 | 9,234,365 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -439 | -601 | -2,195 | -3,005 | -3,073 | -4,207 | -15,365 | -21,035 | -263,839 | -1,319,195 | -1,846,873 | -9,234,365 |
