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 10,004,333, 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 | 10,004,333 | |
| -1 | -10,004,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,004,333.
Example:
1 x 10,004,333 = 10,004,333
and
-1 x -10,004,333 = 10,004,333
Notice both answers equal 10,004,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,004,333 and divide it by 2:
10,004,333 ÷ 2 = 5,002,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,002,166.5 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 | 10,004,333 | |
| -1 | -10,004,333 |
Now, we try dividing 10,004,333 by 3:
10,004,333 ÷ 3 = 3,334,777.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,334,777.6667 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 | 10,004,333 | |
| -1 | -10,004,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,004,333 ÷ 4 = 2,501,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,501,083.25 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 | 10,004,333 | |
| -1 | 10,004,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 29 | 53 | 283 | 667 | 1,219 | 1,537 | 6,509 | 8,207 | 14,999 | 35,351 | 188,761 | 344,977 | 434,971 | 10,004,333 |
| -1 | -23 | -29 | -53 | -283 | -667 | -1,219 | -1,537 | -6,509 | -8,207 | -14,999 | -35,351 | -188,761 | -344,977 | -434,971 | -10,004,333 |
