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 9,361,037, 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 | 9,361,037 | |
| -1 | -9,361,037 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,361,037.
Example:
1 x 9,361,037 = 9,361,037
and
-1 x -9,361,037 = 9,361,037
Notice both answers equal 9,361,037
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,361,037 and divide it by 2:
9,361,037 ÷ 2 = 4,680,518.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,680,518.5 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 | 9,361,037 | |
| -1 | -9,361,037 |
Now, we try dividing 9,361,037 by 3:
9,361,037 ÷ 3 = 3,120,345.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,120,345.6667 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 | 9,361,037 | |
| -1 | -9,361,037 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,361,037 ÷ 4 = 2,340,259.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,340,259.25 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 | 9,361,037 | |
| -1 | 9,361,037 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 47 | 259 | 329 | 769 | 1,739 | 5,383 | 12,173 | 28,453 | 36,143 | 199,171 | 253,001 | 1,337,291 | 9,361,037 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -47 | -259 | -329 | -769 | -1,739 | -5,383 | -12,173 | -28,453 | -36,143 | -199,171 | -253,001 | -1,337,291 | -9,361,037 |
