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 9,625,679, 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 | 9,625,679 | |
| -1 | -9,625,679 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,625,679.
Example:
1 x 9,625,679 = 9,625,679
and
-1 x -9,625,679 = 9,625,679
Notice both answers equal 9,625,679
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,625,679 and divide it by 2:
9,625,679 ÷ 2 = 4,812,839.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,812,839.5 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 | 9,625,679 | |
| -1 | -9,625,679 |
Now, we try dividing 9,625,679 by 3:
9,625,679 ÷ 3 = 3,208,559.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,208,559.6667 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 | 9,625,679 | |
| -1 | -9,625,679 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,625,679 ÷ 4 = 2,406,419.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,406,419.75 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 | 9,625,679 | |
| -1 | 9,625,679 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 113 | 283 | 301 | 791 | 1,981 | 4,859 | 12,169 | 31,979 | 34,013 | 85,183 | 223,853 | 1,375,097 | 9,625,679 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -113 | -283 | -301 | -791 | -1,981 | -4,859 | -12,169 | -31,979 | -34,013 | -85,183 | -223,853 | -1,375,097 | -9,625,679 |
