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 9,634,079, 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 | 9,634,079 | |
| -1 | -9,634,079 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,634,079.
Example:
1 x 9,634,079 = 9,634,079
and
-1 x -9,634,079 = 9,634,079
Notice both answers equal 9,634,079
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,634,079 and divide it by 2:
9,634,079 ÷ 2 = 4,817,039.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,817,039.5 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 | 9,634,079 | |
| -1 | -9,634,079 |
Now, we try dividing 9,634,079 by 3:
9,634,079 ÷ 3 = 3,211,359.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,211,359.6667 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 | 9,634,079 | |
| -1 | -9,634,079 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,634,079 ÷ 4 = 2,408,519.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,408,519.75 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 | 9,634,079 | |
| -1 | 9,634,079 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 23 | 91 | 161 | 299 | 2,093 | 4,603 | 32,221 | 59,839 | 105,869 | 418,873 | 741,083 | 1,376,297 | 9,634,079 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -23 | -91 | -161 | -299 | -2,093 | -4,603 | -32,221 | -59,839 | -105,869 | -418,873 | -741,083 | -1,376,297 | -9,634,079 |
