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 9,425,899, 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 | 9,425,899 | |
| -1 | -9,425,899 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,425,899.
Example:
1 x 9,425,899 = 9,425,899
and
-1 x -9,425,899 = 9,425,899
Notice both answers equal 9,425,899
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,425,899 and divide it by 2:
9,425,899 ÷ 2 = 4,712,949.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,712,949.5 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 | 9,425,899 | |
| -1 | -9,425,899 |
Now, we try dividing 9,425,899 by 3:
9,425,899 ÷ 3 = 3,141,966.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,141,966.3333 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 | 9,425,899 | |
| -1 | -9,425,899 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,425,899 ÷ 4 = 2,356,474.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,356,474.75 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 | 9,425,899 | |
| -1 | 9,425,899 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 59 | 203 | 413 | 787 | 1,711 | 5,509 | 11,977 | 22,823 | 46,433 | 159,761 | 325,031 | 1,346,557 | 9,425,899 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -59 | -203 | -413 | -787 | -1,711 | -5,509 | -11,977 | -22,823 | -46,433 | -159,761 | -325,031 | -1,346,557 | -9,425,899 |
