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 9,293,495, 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 | 9,293,495 | |
| -1 | -9,293,495 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,293,495.
Example:
1 x 9,293,495 = 9,293,495
and
-1 x -9,293,495 = 9,293,495
Notice both answers equal 9,293,495
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,293,495 and divide it by 2:
9,293,495 ÷ 2 = 4,646,747.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,646,747.5 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 | 9,293,495 | |
| -1 | -9,293,495 |
Now, we try dividing 9,293,495 by 3:
9,293,495 ÷ 3 = 3,097,831.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,097,831.6667 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 | 9,293,495 | |
| -1 | -9,293,495 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,293,495 ÷ 4 = 2,323,373.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,323,373.75 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 | 9,293,495 | |
| -1 | 9,293,495 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 211 | 383 | 1,055 | 1,915 | 4,853 | 8,809 | 24,265 | 44,045 | 80,813 | 404,065 | 1,858,699 | 9,293,495 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -211 | -383 | -1,055 | -1,915 | -4,853 | -8,809 | -24,265 | -44,045 | -80,813 | -404,065 | -1,858,699 | -9,293,495 |
