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 9,790,255, 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 | 9,790,255 | |
| -1 | -9,790,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,790,255.
Example:
1 x 9,790,255 = 9,790,255
and
-1 x -9,790,255 = 9,790,255
Notice both answers equal 9,790,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,790,255 and divide it by 2:
9,790,255 ÷ 2 = 4,895,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,895,127.5 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 | 9,790,255 | |
| -1 | -9,790,255 |
Now, we try dividing 9,790,255 by 3:
9,790,255 ÷ 3 = 3,263,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,263,418.3333 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 | 9,790,255 | |
| -1 | -9,790,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,790,255 ÷ 4 = 2,447,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,447,563.75 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 | 9,790,255 | |
| -1 | 9,790,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 251 | 269 | 1,255 | 1,345 | 7,279 | 7,801 | 36,395 | 39,005 | 67,519 | 337,595 | 1,958,051 | 9,790,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -251 | -269 | -1,255 | -1,345 | -7,279 | -7,801 | -36,395 | -39,005 | -67,519 | -337,595 | -1,958,051 | -9,790,255 |
