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 9,632,233, 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 | 9,632,233 | |
| -1 | -9,632,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,632,233.
Example:
1 x 9,632,233 = 9,632,233
and
-1 x -9,632,233 = 9,632,233
Notice both answers equal 9,632,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,632,233 and divide it by 2:
9,632,233 ÷ 2 = 4,816,116.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,816,116.5 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 | 9,632,233 | |
| -1 | -9,632,233 |
Now, we try dividing 9,632,233 by 3:
9,632,233 ÷ 3 = 3,210,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,210,744.3333 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 | 9,632,233 | |
| -1 | -9,632,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,632,233 ÷ 4 = 2,408,058.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,408,058.25 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 | 9,632,233 | |
| -1 | 9,632,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 79 | 83 | 113 | 1,027 | 1,079 | 1,469 | 6,557 | 8,927 | 9,379 | 85,241 | 116,051 | 121,927 | 740,941 | 9,632,233 |
| -1 | -13 | -79 | -83 | -113 | -1,027 | -1,079 | -1,469 | -6,557 | -8,927 | -9,379 | -85,241 | -116,051 | -121,927 | -740,941 | -9,632,233 |
