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 9,813,845, 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 | 9,813,845 | |
| -1 | -9,813,845 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 9,813,845.
Example:
1 x 9,813,845 = 9,813,845
and
-1 x -9,813,845 = 9,813,845
Notice both answers equal 9,813,845
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 9,813,845 and divide it by 2:
9,813,845 ÷ 2 = 4,906,922.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 4,906,922.5 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 | 9,813,845 | |
| -1 | -9,813,845 |
Now, we try dividing 9,813,845 by 3:
9,813,845 ÷ 3 = 3,271,281.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,271,281.6667 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 | 9,813,845 | |
| -1 | -9,813,845 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
9,813,845 ÷ 4 = 2,453,461.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,453,461.25 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 | 9,813,845 | |
| -1 | 9,813,845 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 263 | 439 | 1,315 | 2,195 | 4,471 | 7,463 | 22,355 | 37,315 | 115,457 | 577,285 | 1,962,769 | 9,813,845 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -263 | -439 | -1,315 | -2,195 | -4,471 | -7,463 | -22,355 | -37,315 | -115,457 | -577,285 | -1,962,769 | -9,813,845 |
