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 9,247,021, 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 | 9,247,021 | |
| -1 | -9,247,021 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,247,021.
Example:
1 x 9,247,021 = 9,247,021
and
-1 x -9,247,021 = 9,247,021
Notice both answers equal 9,247,021
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,247,021 and divide it by 2:
9,247,021 ÷ 2 = 4,623,510.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,623,510.5 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 | 9,247,021 | |
| -1 | -9,247,021 |
Now, we try dividing 9,247,021 by 3:
9,247,021 ÷ 3 = 3,082,340.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,082,340.3333 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 | 9,247,021 | |
| -1 | -9,247,021 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,247,021 ÷ 4 = 2,311,755.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,311,755.25 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 | 9,247,021 | |
| -1 | 9,247,021 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 43 | 217 | 301 | 991 | 1,333 | 6,937 | 9,331 | 30,721 | 42,613 | 215,047 | 298,291 | 1,321,003 | 9,247,021 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -43 | -217 | -301 | -991 | -1,333 | -6,937 | -9,331 | -30,721 | -42,613 | -215,047 | -298,291 | -1,321,003 | -9,247,021 |
