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 10,046,515, 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 | 10,046,515 | |
| -1 | -10,046,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,046,515.
Example:
1 x 10,046,515 = 10,046,515
and
-1 x -10,046,515 = 10,046,515
Notice both answers equal 10,046,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,046,515 and divide it by 2:
10,046,515 ÷ 2 = 5,023,257.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,023,257.5 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 | 10,046,515 | |
| -1 | -10,046,515 |
Now, we try dividing 10,046,515 by 3:
10,046,515 ÷ 3 = 3,348,838.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,348,838.3333 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 | 10,046,515 | |
| -1 | -10,046,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,046,515 ÷ 4 = 2,511,628.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,511,628.75 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 | 10,046,515 | |
| -1 | 10,046,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 199 | 439 | 995 | 2,195 | 4,577 | 10,097 | 22,885 | 50,485 | 87,361 | 436,805 | 2,009,303 | 10,046,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -199 | -439 | -995 | -2,195 | -4,577 | -10,097 | -22,885 | -50,485 | -87,361 | -436,805 | -2,009,303 | -10,046,515 |
