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 9,425,545, 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 | 9,425,545 | |
| -1 | -9,425,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,425,545.
Example:
1 x 9,425,545 = 9,425,545
and
-1 x -9,425,545 = 9,425,545
Notice both answers equal 9,425,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,425,545 and divide it by 2:
9,425,545 ÷ 2 = 4,712,772.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,712,772.5 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 | 9,425,545 | |
| -1 | -9,425,545 |
Now, we try dividing 9,425,545 by 3:
9,425,545 ÷ 3 = 3,141,848.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,141,848.3333 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 | 9,425,545 | |
| -1 | -9,425,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,425,545 ÷ 4 = 2,356,386.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,356,386.25 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 | 9,425,545 | |
| -1 | 9,425,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 89 | 295 | 359 | 445 | 1,795 | 5,251 | 21,181 | 26,255 | 31,951 | 105,905 | 159,755 | 1,885,109 | 9,425,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -89 | -295 | -359 | -445 | -1,795 | -5,251 | -21,181 | -26,255 | -31,951 | -105,905 | -159,755 | -1,885,109 | -9,425,545 |
