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 9,509,647, 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 | 9,509,647 | |
| -1 | -9,509,647 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,509,647.
Example:
1 x 9,509,647 = 9,509,647
and
-1 x -9,509,647 = 9,509,647
Notice both answers equal 9,509,647
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,509,647 and divide it by 2:
9,509,647 ÷ 2 = 4,754,823.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,754,823.5 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 | 9,509,647 | |
| -1 | -9,509,647 |
Now, we try dividing 9,509,647 by 3:
9,509,647 ÷ 3 = 3,169,882.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,169,882.3333 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 | 9,509,647 | |
| -1 | -9,509,647 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,509,647 ÷ 4 = 2,377,411.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,377,411.75 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 | 9,509,647 | |
| -1 | 9,509,647 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 157 | 509 | 1,099 | 2,669 | 3,563 | 8,653 | 18,683 | 60,571 | 79,913 | 559,391 | 1,358,521 | 9,509,647 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -157 | -509 | -1,099 | -2,669 | -3,563 | -8,653 | -18,683 | -60,571 | -79,913 | -559,391 | -1,358,521 | -9,509,647 |
