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 9,271,661, 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 | 9,271,661 | |
| -1 | -9,271,661 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,271,661.
Example:
1 x 9,271,661 = 9,271,661
and
-1 x -9,271,661 = 9,271,661
Notice both answers equal 9,271,661
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,271,661 and divide it by 2:
9,271,661 ÷ 2 = 4,635,830.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,635,830.5 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 | 9,271,661 | |
| -1 | -9,271,661 |
Now, we try dividing 9,271,661 by 3:
9,271,661 ÷ 3 = 3,090,553.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,090,553.6667 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 | 9,271,661 | |
| -1 | -9,271,661 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,271,661 ÷ 4 = 2,317,915.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,317,915.25 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 | 9,271,661 | |
| -1 | 9,271,661 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 67 | 371 | 373 | 469 | 2,611 | 3,551 | 19,769 | 24,857 | 24,991 | 138,383 | 174,937 | 1,324,523 | 9,271,661 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -67 | -371 | -373 | -469 | -2,611 | -3,551 | -19,769 | -24,857 | -24,991 | -138,383 | -174,937 | -1,324,523 | -9,271,661 |
