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 9,500,893, 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 | 9,500,893 | |
| -1 | -9,500,893 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,500,893.
Example:
1 x 9,500,893 = 9,500,893
and
-1 x -9,500,893 = 9,500,893
Notice both answers equal 9,500,893
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,500,893 and divide it by 2:
9,500,893 ÷ 2 = 4,750,446.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,750,446.5 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 | 9,500,893 | |
| -1 | -9,500,893 |
Now, we try dividing 9,500,893 by 3:
9,500,893 ÷ 3 = 3,166,964.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,166,964.3333 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 | 9,500,893 | |
| -1 | -9,500,893 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,500,893 ÷ 4 = 2,375,223.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,375,223.25 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 | 9,500,893 | |
| -1 | 9,500,893 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 43 | 401 | 551 | 817 | 1,247 | 7,619 | 11,629 | 17,243 | 23,693 | 220,951 | 327,617 | 500,047 | 9,500,893 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -43 | -401 | -551 | -817 | -1,247 | -7,619 | -11,629 | -17,243 | -23,693 | -220,951 | -327,617 | -500,047 | -9,500,893 |
