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 9,418,471, 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 | 9,418,471 | |
| -1 | -9,418,471 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,418,471.
Example:
1 x 9,418,471 = 9,418,471
and
-1 x -9,418,471 = 9,418,471
Notice both answers equal 9,418,471
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,418,471 and divide it by 2:
9,418,471 ÷ 2 = 4,709,235.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,709,235.5 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 | 9,418,471 | |
| -1 | -9,418,471 |
Now, we try dividing 9,418,471 by 3:
9,418,471 ÷ 3 = 3,139,490.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,139,490.3333 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 | 9,418,471 | |
| -1 | -9,418,471 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,418,471 ÷ 4 = 2,354,617.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,354,617.75 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 | 9,418,471 | |
| -1 | 9,418,471 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 47 | 53 | 199 | 893 | 1,007 | 2,491 | 3,781 | 9,353 | 10,547 | 47,329 | 177,707 | 200,393 | 495,709 | 9,418,471 |
| -1 | -19 | -47 | -53 | -199 | -893 | -1,007 | -2,491 | -3,781 | -9,353 | -10,547 | -47,329 | -177,707 | -200,393 | -495,709 | -9,418,471 |
