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 9,246,485, 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 | 9,246,485 | |
| -1 | -9,246,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,246,485.
Example:
1 x 9,246,485 = 9,246,485
and
-1 x -9,246,485 = 9,246,485
Notice both answers equal 9,246,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,246,485 and divide it by 2:
9,246,485 ÷ 2 = 4,623,242.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,623,242.5 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 | 9,246,485 | |
| -1 | -9,246,485 |
Now, we try dividing 9,246,485 by 3:
9,246,485 ÷ 3 = 3,082,161.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,082,161.6667 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 | 9,246,485 | |
| -1 | -9,246,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,246,485 ÷ 4 = 2,311,621.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,311,621.25 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 | 9,246,485 | |
| -1 | 9,246,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 151 | 185 | 331 | 755 | 1,655 | 5,587 | 12,247 | 27,935 | 49,981 | 61,235 | 249,905 | 1,849,297 | 9,246,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -151 | -185 | -331 | -755 | -1,655 | -5,587 | -12,247 | -27,935 | -49,981 | -61,235 | -249,905 | -1,849,297 | -9,246,485 |
