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 9,792,629, 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 | 9,792,629 | |
| -1 | -9,792,629 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,792,629.
Example:
1 x 9,792,629 = 9,792,629
and
-1 x -9,792,629 = 9,792,629
Notice both answers equal 9,792,629
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,792,629 and divide it by 2:
9,792,629 ÷ 2 = 4,896,314.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,896,314.5 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 | 9,792,629 | |
| -1 | -9,792,629 |
Now, we try dividing 9,792,629 by 3:
9,792,629 ÷ 3 = 3,264,209.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,264,209.6667 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 | 9,792,629 | |
| -1 | -9,792,629 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,792,629 ÷ 4 = 2,448,157.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,448,157.25 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 | 9,792,629 | |
| -1 | 9,792,629 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 77 | 119 | 187 | 1,309 | 7,481 | 52,367 | 82,291 | 127,177 | 576,037 | 890,239 | 1,398,947 | 9,792,629 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -77 | -119 | -187 | -1,309 | -7,481 | -52,367 | -82,291 | -127,177 | -576,037 | -890,239 | -1,398,947 | -9,792,629 |
