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 9,244,265, 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 | 9,244,265 | |
| -1 | -9,244,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,244,265.
Example:
1 x 9,244,265 = 9,244,265
and
-1 x -9,244,265 = 9,244,265
Notice both answers equal 9,244,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,244,265 and divide it by 2:
9,244,265 ÷ 2 = 4,622,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,622,132.5 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 | 9,244,265 | |
| -1 | -9,244,265 |
Now, we try dividing 9,244,265 by 3:
9,244,265 ÷ 3 = 3,081,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,081,421.6667 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 | 9,244,265 | |
| -1 | -9,244,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,244,265 ÷ 4 = 2,311,066.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,311,066.25 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 | 9,244,265 | |
| -1 | 9,244,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 107 | 185 | 467 | 535 | 2,335 | 3,959 | 17,279 | 19,795 | 49,969 | 86,395 | 249,845 | 1,848,853 | 9,244,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -107 | -185 | -467 | -535 | -2,335 | -3,959 | -17,279 | -19,795 | -49,969 | -86,395 | -249,845 | -1,848,853 | -9,244,265 |
