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 9,416,935, 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 | 9,416,935 | |
| -1 | -9,416,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,416,935.
Example:
1 x 9,416,935 = 9,416,935
and
-1 x -9,416,935 = 9,416,935
Notice both answers equal 9,416,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,416,935 and divide it by 2:
9,416,935 ÷ 2 = 4,708,467.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,708,467.5 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 | 9,416,935 | |
| -1 | -9,416,935 |
Now, we try dividing 9,416,935 by 3:
9,416,935 ÷ 3 = 3,138,978.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,138,978.3333 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 | 9,416,935 | |
| -1 | -9,416,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,416,935 ÷ 4 = 2,354,233.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,354,233.75 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 | 9,416,935 | |
| -1 | 9,416,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 131 | 655 | 1,307 | 1,441 | 6,535 | 7,205 | 14,377 | 71,885 | 171,217 | 856,085 | 1,883,387 | 9,416,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -131 | -655 | -1,307 | -1,441 | -6,535 | -7,205 | -14,377 | -71,885 | -171,217 | -856,085 | -1,883,387 | -9,416,935 |
