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 9,287,635, 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 | 9,287,635 | |
| -1 | -9,287,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,287,635.
Example:
1 x 9,287,635 = 9,287,635
and
-1 x -9,287,635 = 9,287,635
Notice both answers equal 9,287,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,287,635 and divide it by 2:
9,287,635 ÷ 2 = 4,643,817.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,643,817.5 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 | 9,287,635 | |
| -1 | -9,287,635 |
Now, we try dividing 9,287,635 by 3:
9,287,635 ÷ 3 = 3,095,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,095,878.3333 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 | 9,287,635 | |
| -1 | -9,287,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,287,635 ÷ 4 = 2,321,908.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,321,908.75 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 | 9,287,635 | |
| -1 | 9,287,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 79 | 395 | 553 | 2,765 | 3,359 | 16,795 | 23,513 | 117,565 | 265,361 | 1,326,805 | 1,857,527 | 9,287,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -79 | -395 | -553 | -2,765 | -3,359 | -16,795 | -23,513 | -117,565 | -265,361 | -1,326,805 | -1,857,527 | -9,287,635 |
