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 9,601,745, 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 | 9,601,745 | |
| -1 | -9,601,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,601,745.
Example:
1 x 9,601,745 = 9,601,745
and
-1 x -9,601,745 = 9,601,745
Notice both answers equal 9,601,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,601,745 and divide it by 2:
9,601,745 ÷ 2 = 4,800,872.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,800,872.5 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 | 9,601,745 | |
| -1 | -9,601,745 |
Now, we try dividing 9,601,745 by 3:
9,601,745 ÷ 3 = 3,200,581.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,200,581.6667 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 | 9,601,745 | |
| -1 | -9,601,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,601,745 ÷ 4 = 2,400,436.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,400,436.25 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 | 9,601,745 | |
| -1 | 9,601,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 53 | 95 | 265 | 1,007 | 1,907 | 5,035 | 9,535 | 36,233 | 101,071 | 181,165 | 505,355 | 1,920,349 | 9,601,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -53 | -95 | -265 | -1,007 | -1,907 | -5,035 | -9,535 | -36,233 | -101,071 | -181,165 | -505,355 | -1,920,349 | -9,601,745 |
