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 9,492,307, 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 | 9,492,307 | |
| -1 | -9,492,307 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,492,307.
Example:
1 x 9,492,307 = 9,492,307
and
-1 x -9,492,307 = 9,492,307
Notice both answers equal 9,492,307
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,492,307 and divide it by 2:
9,492,307 ÷ 2 = 4,746,153.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,746,153.5 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 | 9,492,307 | |
| -1 | -9,492,307 |
Now, we try dividing 9,492,307 by 3:
9,492,307 ÷ 3 = 3,164,102.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,164,102.3333 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 | 9,492,307 | |
| -1 | -9,492,307 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,492,307 ÷ 4 = 2,373,076.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,373,076.75 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 | 9,492,307 | |
| -1 | 9,492,307 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 23 | 187 | 253 | 391 | 2,207 | 4,301 | 24,277 | 37,519 | 50,761 | 412,709 | 558,371 | 862,937 | 9,492,307 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -23 | -187 | -253 | -391 | -2,207 | -4,301 | -24,277 | -37,519 | -50,761 | -412,709 | -558,371 | -862,937 | -9,492,307 |
