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 9,271,717, 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 | 9,271,717 | |
| -1 | -9,271,717 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,271,717.
Example:
1 x 9,271,717 = 9,271,717
and
-1 x -9,271,717 = 9,271,717
Notice both answers equal 9,271,717
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,271,717 and divide it by 2:
9,271,717 ÷ 2 = 4,635,858.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,635,858.5 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 | 9,271,717 | |
| -1 | -9,271,717 |
Now, we try dividing 9,271,717 by 3:
9,271,717 ÷ 3 = 3,090,572.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,090,572.3333 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 | 9,271,717 | |
| -1 | -9,271,717 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,271,717 ÷ 4 = 2,317,929.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,317,929.25 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 | 9,271,717 | |
| -1 | 9,271,717 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 139 | 733 | 973 | 1,807 | 5,131 | 9,529 | 12,649 | 66,703 | 101,887 | 713,209 | 1,324,531 | 9,271,717 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -139 | -733 | -973 | -1,807 | -5,131 | -9,529 | -12,649 | -66,703 | -101,887 | -713,209 | -1,324,531 | -9,271,717 |
