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 9,250,241, 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 | 9,250,241 | |
| -1 | -9,250,241 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,250,241.
Example:
1 x 9,250,241 = 9,250,241
and
-1 x -9,250,241 = 9,250,241
Notice both answers equal 9,250,241
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,250,241 and divide it by 2:
9,250,241 ÷ 2 = 4,625,120.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,625,120.5 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 | 9,250,241 | |
| -1 | -9,250,241 |
Now, we try dividing 9,250,241 by 3:
9,250,241 ÷ 3 = 3,083,413.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,083,413.6667 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 | 9,250,241 | |
| -1 | -9,250,241 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,250,241 ÷ 4 = 2,312,560.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,312,560.25 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 | 9,250,241 | |
| -1 | 9,250,241 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 13 | 77 | 91 | 143 | 1,001 | 9,241 | 64,687 | 101,651 | 120,133 | 711,557 | 840,931 | 1,321,463 | 9,250,241 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -13 | -77 | -91 | -143 | -1,001 | -9,241 | -64,687 | -101,651 | -120,133 | -711,557 | -840,931 | -1,321,463 | -9,250,241 |
