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 9,305,329, 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 | 9,305,329 | |
| -1 | -9,305,329 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,305,329.
Example:
1 x 9,305,329 = 9,305,329
and
-1 x -9,305,329 = 9,305,329
Notice both answers equal 9,305,329
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,305,329 and divide it by 2:
9,305,329 ÷ 2 = 4,652,664.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,652,664.5 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 | 9,305,329 | |
| -1 | -9,305,329 |
Now, we try dividing 9,305,329 by 3:
9,305,329 ÷ 3 = 3,101,776.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,101,776.3333 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 | 9,305,329 | |
| -1 | -9,305,329 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,305,329 ÷ 4 = 2,326,332.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,326,332.25 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 | 9,305,329 | |
| -1 | 9,305,329 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 43 | 103 | 191 | 473 | 1,133 | 2,101 | 4,429 | 8,213 | 19,673 | 48,719 | 90,343 | 216,403 | 845,939 | 9,305,329 |
| -1 | -11 | -43 | -103 | -191 | -473 | -1,133 | -2,101 | -4,429 | -8,213 | -19,673 | -48,719 | -90,343 | -216,403 | -845,939 | -9,305,329 |
