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 9,437,339, 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 | 9,437,339 | |
| -1 | -9,437,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,437,339.
Example:
1 x 9,437,339 = 9,437,339
and
-1 x -9,437,339 = 9,437,339
Notice both answers equal 9,437,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,437,339 and divide it by 2:
9,437,339 ÷ 2 = 4,718,669.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,718,669.5 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 | 9,437,339 | |
| -1 | -9,437,339 |
Now, we try dividing 9,437,339 by 3:
9,437,339 ÷ 3 = 3,145,779.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,145,779.6667 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 | 9,437,339 | |
| -1 | -9,437,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,437,339 ÷ 4 = 2,359,334.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,359,334.75 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 | 9,437,339 | |
| -1 | 9,437,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 43 | 53 | 101 | 1,763 | 2,173 | 2,279 | 4,141 | 4,343 | 5,353 | 93,439 | 178,063 | 219,473 | 230,179 | 9,437,339 |
| -1 | -41 | -43 | -53 | -101 | -1,763 | -2,173 | -2,279 | -4,141 | -4,343 | -5,353 | -93,439 | -178,063 | -219,473 | -230,179 | -9,437,339 |
