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 9,347,039, 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 | 9,347,039 | |
| -1 | -9,347,039 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,347,039.
Example:
1 x 9,347,039 = 9,347,039
and
-1 x -9,347,039 = 9,347,039
Notice both answers equal 9,347,039
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,347,039 and divide it by 2:
9,347,039 ÷ 2 = 4,673,519.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,673,519.5 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 | 9,347,039 | |
| -1 | -9,347,039 |
Now, we try dividing 9,347,039 by 3:
9,347,039 ÷ 3 = 3,115,679.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,115,679.6667 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 | 9,347,039 | |
| -1 | -9,347,039 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,347,039 ÷ 4 = 2,336,759.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,336,759.75 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 | 9,347,039 | |
| -1 | 9,347,039 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 43 | 299 | 559 | 727 | 989 | 9,451 | 12,857 | 16,721 | 31,261 | 217,373 | 406,393 | 719,003 | 9,347,039 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -43 | -299 | -559 | -727 | -989 | -9,451 | -12,857 | -16,721 | -31,261 | -217,373 | -406,393 | -719,003 | -9,347,039 |
