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 9,401,713, 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 | 9,401,713 | |
| -1 | -9,401,713 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,401,713.
Example:
1 x 9,401,713 = 9,401,713
and
-1 x -9,401,713 = 9,401,713
Notice both answers equal 9,401,713
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,401,713 and divide it by 2:
9,401,713 ÷ 2 = 4,700,856.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,700,856.5 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 | 9,401,713 | |
| -1 | -9,401,713 |
Now, we try dividing 9,401,713 by 3:
9,401,713 ÷ 3 = 3,133,904.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,133,904.3333 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 | 9,401,713 | |
| -1 | -9,401,713 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,401,713 ÷ 4 = 2,350,428.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,350,428.25 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 | 9,401,713 | |
| -1 | 9,401,713 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 113 | 151 | 551 | 2,147 | 2,869 | 3,277 | 4,379 | 17,063 | 62,263 | 83,201 | 324,197 | 494,827 | 9,401,713 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -113 | -151 | -551 | -2,147 | -2,869 | -3,277 | -4,379 | -17,063 | -62,263 | -83,201 | -324,197 | -494,827 | -9,401,713 |
