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 9,352,057, 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 | 9,352,057 | |
| -1 | -9,352,057 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,352,057.
Example:
1 x 9,352,057 = 9,352,057
and
-1 x -9,352,057 = 9,352,057
Notice both answers equal 9,352,057
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,352,057 and divide it by 2:
9,352,057 ÷ 2 = 4,676,028.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,676,028.5 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 | 9,352,057 | |
| -1 | -9,352,057 |
Now, we try dividing 9,352,057 by 3:
9,352,057 ÷ 3 = 3,117,352.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,117,352.3333 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 | 9,352,057 | |
| -1 | -9,352,057 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,352,057 ÷ 4 = 2,338,014.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,338,014.25 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 | 9,352,057 | |
| -1 | 9,352,057 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 17 | 143 | 187 | 221 | 2,431 | 3,847 | 42,317 | 50,011 | 65,399 | 550,121 | 719,389 | 850,187 | 9,352,057 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -17 | -143 | -187 | -221 | -2,431 | -3,847 | -42,317 | -50,011 | -65,399 | -550,121 | -719,389 | -850,187 | -9,352,057 |
