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 9,274,993, 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 | 9,274,993 | |
| -1 | -9,274,993 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,274,993.
Example:
1 x 9,274,993 = 9,274,993
and
-1 x -9,274,993 = 9,274,993
Notice both answers equal 9,274,993
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,274,993 and divide it by 2:
9,274,993 ÷ 2 = 4,637,496.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,637,496.5 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 | 9,274,993 | |
| -1 | -9,274,993 |
Now, we try dividing 9,274,993 by 3:
9,274,993 ÷ 3 = 3,091,664.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,091,664.3333 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 | 9,274,993 | |
| -1 | -9,274,993 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,274,993 ÷ 4 = 2,318,748.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,318,748.25 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 | 9,274,993 | |
| -1 | 9,274,993 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 227 | 449 | 1,589 | 2,951 | 3,143 | 5,837 | 20,657 | 40,859 | 101,923 | 713,461 | 1,324,999 | 9,274,993 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -227 | -449 | -1,589 | -2,951 | -3,143 | -5,837 | -20,657 | -40,859 | -101,923 | -713,461 | -1,324,999 | -9,274,993 |
