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 9,529,013, 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 | 9,529,013 | |
| -1 | -9,529,013 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,529,013.
Example:
1 x 9,529,013 = 9,529,013
and
-1 x -9,529,013 = 9,529,013
Notice both answers equal 9,529,013
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,529,013 and divide it by 2:
9,529,013 ÷ 2 = 4,764,506.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,764,506.5 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 | 9,529,013 | |
| -1 | -9,529,013 |
Now, we try dividing 9,529,013 by 3:
9,529,013 ÷ 3 = 3,176,337.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,176,337.6667 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 | 9,529,013 | |
| -1 | -9,529,013 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,529,013 ÷ 4 = 2,382,253.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,382,253.25 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 | 9,529,013 | |
| -1 | 9,529,013 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 173 | 223 | 247 | 2,249 | 2,899 | 3,287 | 4,237 | 38,579 | 42,731 | 55,081 | 501,527 | 733,001 | 9,529,013 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -173 | -223 | -247 | -2,249 | -2,899 | -3,287 | -4,237 | -38,579 | -42,731 | -55,081 | -501,527 | -733,001 | -9,529,013 |
