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 9,252,529, 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 | 9,252,529 | |
| -1 | -9,252,529 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,252,529.
Example:
1 x 9,252,529 = 9,252,529
and
-1 x -9,252,529 = 9,252,529
Notice both answers equal 9,252,529
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,252,529 and divide it by 2:
9,252,529 ÷ 2 = 4,626,264.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,626,264.5 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 | 9,252,529 | |
| -1 | -9,252,529 |
Now, we try dividing 9,252,529 by 3:
9,252,529 ÷ 3 = 3,084,176.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,084,176.3333 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 | 9,252,529 | |
| -1 | -9,252,529 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,252,529 ÷ 4 = 2,313,132.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,313,132.25 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 | 9,252,529 | |
| -1 | 9,252,529 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 89 | 143 | 727 | 979 | 1,157 | 7,997 | 9,451 | 12,727 | 64,703 | 103,961 | 711,733 | 841,139 | 9,252,529 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -89 | -143 | -727 | -979 | -1,157 | -7,997 | -9,451 | -12,727 | -64,703 | -103,961 | -711,733 | -841,139 | -9,252,529 |
