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 9,586,385, 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 | 9,586,385 | |
| -1 | -9,586,385 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,586,385.
Example:
1 x 9,586,385 = 9,586,385
and
-1 x -9,586,385 = 9,586,385
Notice both answers equal 9,586,385
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,586,385 and divide it by 2:
9,586,385 ÷ 2 = 4,793,192.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,793,192.5 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 | 9,586,385 | |
| -1 | -9,586,385 |
Now, we try dividing 9,586,385 by 3:
9,586,385 ÷ 3 = 3,195,461.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,195,461.6667 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 | 9,586,385 | |
| -1 | -9,586,385 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,586,385 ÷ 4 = 2,396,596.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,396,596.25 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 | 9,586,385 | |
| -1 | 9,586,385 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 2,465 | 3,889 | 19,445 | 66,113 | 112,781 | 330,565 | 563,905 | 1,917,277 | 9,586,385 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -2,465 | -3,889 | -19,445 | -66,113 | -112,781 | -330,565 | -563,905 | -1,917,277 | -9,586,385 |
