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 9,285,595, 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 | 9,285,595 | |
| -1 | -9,285,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,285,595.
Example:
1 x 9,285,595 = 9,285,595
and
-1 x -9,285,595 = 9,285,595
Notice both answers equal 9,285,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,285,595 and divide it by 2:
9,285,595 ÷ 2 = 4,642,797.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,642,797.5 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 | 9,285,595 | |
| -1 | -9,285,595 |
Now, we try dividing 9,285,595 by 3:
9,285,595 ÷ 3 = 3,095,198.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,095,198.3333 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 | 9,285,595 | |
| -1 | -9,285,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,285,595 ÷ 4 = 2,321,398.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,321,398.75 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 | 9,285,595 | |
| -1 | 9,285,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 197 | 857 | 985 | 2,167 | 4,285 | 9,427 | 10,835 | 47,135 | 168,829 | 844,145 | 1,857,119 | 9,285,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -197 | -857 | -985 | -2,167 | -4,285 | -9,427 | -10,835 | -47,135 | -168,829 | -844,145 | -1,857,119 | -9,285,595 |
