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 9,475,141, 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 | 9,475,141 | |
| -1 | -9,475,141 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,475,141.
Example:
1 x 9,475,141 = 9,475,141
and
-1 x -9,475,141 = 9,475,141
Notice both answers equal 9,475,141
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,475,141 and divide it by 2:
9,475,141 ÷ 2 = 4,737,570.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,737,570.5 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 | 9,475,141 | |
| -1 | -9,475,141 |
Now, we try dividing 9,475,141 by 3:
9,475,141 ÷ 3 = 3,158,380.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,158,380.3333 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 | 9,475,141 | |
| -1 | -9,475,141 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,475,141 ÷ 4 = 2,368,785.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,368,785.25 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 | 9,475,141 | |
| -1 | 9,475,141 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 41 | 377 | 533 | 613 | 1,189 | 7,969 | 15,457 | 17,777 | 25,133 | 231,101 | 326,729 | 728,857 | 9,475,141 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -41 | -377 | -533 | -613 | -1,189 | -7,969 | -15,457 | -17,777 | -25,133 | -231,101 | -326,729 | -728,857 | -9,475,141 |
