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 9,363,209, 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 | 9,363,209 | |
| -1 | -9,363,209 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,363,209.
Example:
1 x 9,363,209 = 9,363,209
and
-1 x -9,363,209 = 9,363,209
Notice both answers equal 9,363,209
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,363,209 and divide it by 2:
9,363,209 ÷ 2 = 4,681,604.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,681,604.5 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 | 9,363,209 | |
| -1 | -9,363,209 |
Now, we try dividing 9,363,209 by 3:
9,363,209 ÷ 3 = 3,121,069.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,121,069.6667 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 | 9,363,209 | |
| -1 | -9,363,209 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,363,209 ÷ 4 = 2,340,802.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,340,802.25 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 | 9,363,209 | |
| -1 | 9,363,209 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 109 | 163 | 527 | 1,853 | 2,771 | 3,379 | 5,053 | 17,767 | 57,443 | 85,901 | 302,039 | 550,777 | 9,363,209 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -109 | -163 | -527 | -1,853 | -2,771 | -3,379 | -5,053 | -17,767 | -57,443 | -85,901 | -302,039 | -550,777 | -9,363,209 |
