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 9,301,733, 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 | 9,301,733 | |
| -1 | -9,301,733 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,301,733.
Example:
1 x 9,301,733 = 9,301,733
and
-1 x -9,301,733 = 9,301,733
Notice both answers equal 9,301,733
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,301,733 and divide it by 2:
9,301,733 ÷ 2 = 4,650,866.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,650,866.5 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 | 9,301,733 | |
| -1 | -9,301,733 |
Now, we try dividing 9,301,733 by 3:
9,301,733 ÷ 3 = 3,100,577.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,100,577.6667 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 | 9,301,733 | |
| -1 | -9,301,733 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,301,733 ÷ 4 = 2,325,433.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,325,433.25 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 | 9,301,733 | |
| -1 | 9,301,733 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 109 | 167 | 511 | 763 | 1,169 | 7,957 | 12,191 | 18,203 | 55,699 | 85,337 | 127,421 | 1,328,819 | 9,301,733 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -109 | -167 | -511 | -763 | -1,169 | -7,957 | -12,191 | -18,203 | -55,699 | -85,337 | -127,421 | -1,328,819 | -9,301,733 |
