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 9,326,251, 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 | 9,326,251 | |
| -1 | -9,326,251 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,326,251.
Example:
1 x 9,326,251 = 9,326,251
and
-1 x -9,326,251 = 9,326,251
Notice both answers equal 9,326,251
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,326,251 and divide it by 2:
9,326,251 ÷ 2 = 4,663,125.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,663,125.5 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 | 9,326,251 | |
| -1 | -9,326,251 |
Now, we try dividing 9,326,251 by 3:
9,326,251 ÷ 3 = 3,108,750.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,108,750.3333 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 | 9,326,251 | |
| -1 | -9,326,251 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,326,251 ÷ 4 = 2,331,562.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,331,562.75 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 | 9,326,251 | |
| -1 | 9,326,251 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 53 | 187 | 583 | 901 | 941 | 9,911 | 10,351 | 15,997 | 49,873 | 175,967 | 548,603 | 847,841 | 9,326,251 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -53 | -187 | -583 | -901 | -941 | -9,911 | -10,351 | -15,997 | -49,873 | -175,967 | -548,603 | -847,841 | -9,326,251 |
