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 10,012,535, 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 | 10,012,535 | |
| -1 | -10,012,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,012,535.
Example:
1 x 10,012,535 = 10,012,535
and
-1 x -10,012,535 = 10,012,535
Notice both answers equal 10,012,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,012,535 and divide it by 2:
10,012,535 ÷ 2 = 5,006,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,006,267.5 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 | 10,012,535 | |
| -1 | -10,012,535 |
Now, we try dividing 10,012,535 by 3:
10,012,535 ÷ 3 = 3,337,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,337,511.6667 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 | 10,012,535 | |
| -1 | -10,012,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,012,535 ÷ 4 = 2,503,133.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,503,133.75 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 | 10,012,535 | |
| -1 | 10,012,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 31 | 65 | 155 | 403 | 2,015 | 4,969 | 24,845 | 64,597 | 154,039 | 322,985 | 770,195 | 2,002,507 | 10,012,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -31 | -65 | -155 | -403 | -2,015 | -4,969 | -24,845 | -64,597 | -154,039 | -322,985 | -770,195 | -2,002,507 | -10,012,535 |
