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 9,479,875, 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 | 9,479,875 | |
| -1 | -9,479,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,479,875.
Example:
1 x 9,479,875 = 9,479,875
and
-1 x -9,479,875 = 9,479,875
Notice both answers equal 9,479,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,479,875 and divide it by 2:
9,479,875 ÷ 2 = 4,739,937.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,739,937.5 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 | 9,479,875 | |
| -1 | -9,479,875 |
Now, we try dividing 9,479,875 by 3:
9,479,875 ÷ 3 = 3,159,958.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,159,958.3333 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 | 9,479,875 | |
| -1 | -9,479,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,479,875 ÷ 4 = 2,369,968.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,369,968.75 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 | 9,479,875 | |
| -1 | 9,479,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 181 | 419 | 905 | 2,095 | 4,525 | 10,475 | 22,625 | 52,375 | 75,839 | 379,195 | 1,895,975 | 9,479,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -181 | -419 | -905 | -2,095 | -4,525 | -10,475 | -22,625 | -52,375 | -75,839 | -379,195 | -1,895,975 | -9,479,875 |
