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 9,460,619, 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 | 9,460,619 | |
| -1 | -9,460,619 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,460,619.
Example:
1 x 9,460,619 = 9,460,619
and
-1 x -9,460,619 = 9,460,619
Notice both answers equal 9,460,619
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,460,619 and divide it by 2:
9,460,619 ÷ 2 = 4,730,309.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,730,309.5 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 | 9,460,619 | |
| -1 | -9,460,619 |
Now, we try dividing 9,460,619 by 3:
9,460,619 ÷ 3 = 3,153,539.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,153,539.6667 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 | 9,460,619 | |
| -1 | -9,460,619 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,460,619 ÷ 4 = 2,365,154.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,365,154.75 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 | 9,460,619 | |
| -1 | 9,460,619 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 107 | 119 | 743 | 749 | 1,819 | 5,201 | 12,631 | 12,733 | 79,501 | 88,417 | 556,507 | 1,351,517 | 9,460,619 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -107 | -119 | -743 | -749 | -1,819 | -5,201 | -12,631 | -12,733 | -79,501 | -88,417 | -556,507 | -1,351,517 | -9,460,619 |
