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 10,014,499, 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 | 10,014,499 | |
| -1 | -10,014,499 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,014,499.
Example:
1 x 10,014,499 = 10,014,499
and
-1 x -10,014,499 = 10,014,499
Notice both answers equal 10,014,499
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,014,499 and divide it by 2:
10,014,499 ÷ 2 = 5,007,249.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,007,249.5 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 | 10,014,499 | |
| -1 | -10,014,499 |
Now, we try dividing 10,014,499 by 3:
10,014,499 ÷ 3 = 3,338,166.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,338,166.3333 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 | 10,014,499 | |
| -1 | -10,014,499 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,014,499 ÷ 4 = 2,503,624.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,503,624.75 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 | 10,014,499 | |
| -1 | 10,014,499 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 253 | 529 | 1,721 | 5,819 | 18,931 | 39,583 | 435,413 | 910,409 | 10,014,499 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -253 | -529 | -1,721 | -5,819 | -18,931 | -39,583 | -435,413 | -910,409 | -10,014,499 |
