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 9,479,375, 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 | 9,479,375 | |
| -1 | -9,479,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,479,375.
Example:
1 x 9,479,375 = 9,479,375
and
-1 x -9,479,375 = 9,479,375
Notice both answers equal 9,479,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,479,375 and divide it by 2:
9,479,375 ÷ 2 = 4,739,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,739,687.5 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 | 9,479,375 | |
| -1 | -9,479,375 |
Now, we try dividing 9,479,375 by 3:
9,479,375 ÷ 3 = 3,159,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,159,791.6667 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 | 9,479,375 | |
| -1 | -9,479,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,479,375 ÷ 4 = 2,369,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,369,843.75 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 | 9,479,375 | |
| -1 | 9,479,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 29 | 125 | 145 | 523 | 625 | 725 | 2,615 | 3,625 | 13,075 | 15,167 | 18,125 | 65,375 | 75,835 | 326,875 | 379,175 | 1,895,875 | 9,479,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -29 | -125 | -145 | -523 | -625 | -725 | -2,615 | -3,625 | -13,075 | -15,167 | -18,125 | -65,375 | -75,835 | -326,875 | -379,175 | -1,895,875 | -9,479,375 |
