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 9,445,423, 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 | 9,445,423 | |
| -1 | -9,445,423 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,445,423.
Example:
1 x 9,445,423 = 9,445,423
and
-1 x -9,445,423 = 9,445,423
Notice both answers equal 9,445,423
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,445,423 and divide it by 2:
9,445,423 ÷ 2 = 4,722,711.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,722,711.5 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 | 9,445,423 | |
| -1 | -9,445,423 |
Now, we try dividing 9,445,423 by 3:
9,445,423 ÷ 3 = 3,148,474.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,148,474.3333 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 | 9,445,423 | |
| -1 | -9,445,423 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,445,423 ÷ 4 = 2,361,355.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,361,355.75 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 | 9,445,423 | |
| -1 | 9,445,423 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 43 | 61 | 277 | 559 | 793 | 2,623 | 3,601 | 11,911 | 16,897 | 34,099 | 154,843 | 219,661 | 726,571 | 9,445,423 |
| -1 | -13 | -43 | -61 | -277 | -559 | -793 | -2,623 | -3,601 | -11,911 | -16,897 | -34,099 | -154,843 | -219,661 | -726,571 | -9,445,423 |
