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 9,242,345, 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 | 9,242,345 | |
| -1 | -9,242,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,242,345.
Example:
1 x 9,242,345 = 9,242,345
and
-1 x -9,242,345 = 9,242,345
Notice both answers equal 9,242,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,242,345 and divide it by 2:
9,242,345 ÷ 2 = 4,621,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,621,172.5 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 | 9,242,345 | |
| -1 | -9,242,345 |
Now, we try dividing 9,242,345 by 3:
9,242,345 ÷ 3 = 3,080,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,080,781.6667 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 | 9,242,345 | |
| -1 | -9,242,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,242,345 ÷ 4 = 2,310,586.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,310,586.25 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 | 9,242,345 | |
| -1 | 9,242,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 347 | 761 | 1,735 | 2,429 | 3,805 | 5,327 | 12,145 | 26,635 | 264,067 | 1,320,335 | 1,848,469 | 9,242,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -347 | -761 | -1,735 | -2,429 | -3,805 | -5,327 | -12,145 | -26,635 | -264,067 | -1,320,335 | -1,848,469 | -9,242,345 |
