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 9,346,555, 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 | 9,346,555 | |
| -1 | -9,346,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,346,555.
Example:
1 x 9,346,555 = 9,346,555
and
-1 x -9,346,555 = 9,346,555
Notice both answers equal 9,346,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,346,555 and divide it by 2:
9,346,555 ÷ 2 = 4,673,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,673,277.5 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 | 9,346,555 | |
| -1 | -9,346,555 |
Now, we try dividing 9,346,555 by 3:
9,346,555 ÷ 3 = 3,115,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,115,518.3333 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 | 9,346,555 | |
| -1 | -9,346,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,346,555 ÷ 4 = 2,336,638.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,336,638.75 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 | 9,346,555 | |
| -1 | 9,346,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 73 | 145 | 365 | 883 | 2,117 | 4,415 | 10,585 | 25,607 | 64,459 | 128,035 | 322,295 | 1,869,311 | 9,346,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -73 | -145 | -365 | -883 | -2,117 | -4,415 | -10,585 | -25,607 | -64,459 | -128,035 | -322,295 | -1,869,311 | -9,346,555 |
