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 9,774,235, 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 | 9,774,235 | |
| -1 | -9,774,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,774,235.
Example:
1 x 9,774,235 = 9,774,235
and
-1 x -9,774,235 = 9,774,235
Notice both answers equal 9,774,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,774,235 and divide it by 2:
9,774,235 ÷ 2 = 4,887,117.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,887,117.5 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 | 9,774,235 | |
| -1 | -9,774,235 |
Now, we try dividing 9,774,235 by 3:
9,774,235 ÷ 3 = 3,258,078.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,258,078.3333 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 | 9,774,235 | |
| -1 | -9,774,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,774,235 ÷ 4 = 2,443,558.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,443,558.75 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 | 9,774,235 | |
| -1 | 9,774,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 59 | 85 | 295 | 1,003 | 1,949 | 5,015 | 9,745 | 33,133 | 114,991 | 165,665 | 574,955 | 1,954,847 | 9,774,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -59 | -85 | -295 | -1,003 | -1,949 | -5,015 | -9,745 | -33,133 | -114,991 | -165,665 | -574,955 | -1,954,847 | -9,774,235 |
