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 9,491,845, 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 | 9,491,845 | |
| -1 | -9,491,845 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,491,845.
Example:
1 x 9,491,845 = 9,491,845
and
-1 x -9,491,845 = 9,491,845
Notice both answers equal 9,491,845
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,491,845 and divide it by 2:
9,491,845 ÷ 2 = 4,745,922.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,745,922.5 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 | 9,491,845 | |
| -1 | -9,491,845 |
Now, we try dividing 9,491,845 by 3:
9,491,845 ÷ 3 = 3,163,948.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,163,948.3333 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 | 9,491,845 | |
| -1 | -9,491,845 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,491,845 ÷ 4 = 2,372,961.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,372,961.25 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 | 9,491,845 | |
| -1 | 9,491,845 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 121 | 145 | 319 | 541 | 605 | 1,595 | 2,705 | 3,509 | 5,951 | 15,689 | 17,545 | 29,755 | 65,461 | 78,445 | 172,579 | 327,305 | 862,895 | 1,898,369 | 9,491,845 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -121 | -145 | -319 | -541 | -605 | -1,595 | -2,705 | -3,509 | -5,951 | -15,689 | -17,545 | -29,755 | -65,461 | -78,445 | -172,579 | -327,305 | -862,895 | -1,898,369 | -9,491,845 |
