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 10,003,357, 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 | 10,003,357 | |
| -1 | -10,003,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,003,357.
Example:
1 x 10,003,357 = 10,003,357
and
-1 x -10,003,357 = 10,003,357
Notice both answers equal 10,003,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,003,357 and divide it by 2:
10,003,357 ÷ 2 = 5,001,678.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,001,678.5 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 | 10,003,357 | |
| -1 | -10,003,357 |
Now, we try dividing 10,003,357 by 3:
10,003,357 ÷ 3 = 3,334,452.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,334,452.3333 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 | 10,003,357 | |
| -1 | -10,003,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,003,357 ÷ 4 = 2,500,839.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,500,839.25 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 | 10,003,357 | |
| -1 | 10,003,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 37 | 91 | 259 | 481 | 2,971 | 3,367 | 20,797 | 38,623 | 109,927 | 270,361 | 769,489 | 1,429,051 | 10,003,357 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -37 | -91 | -259 | -481 | -2,971 | -3,367 | -20,797 | -38,623 | -109,927 | -270,361 | -769,489 | -1,429,051 | -10,003,357 |
