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 10,052,861, 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 | 10,052,861 | |
| -1 | -10,052,861 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,052,861.
Example:
1 x 10,052,861 = 10,052,861
and
-1 x -10,052,861 = 10,052,861
Notice both answers equal 10,052,861
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,052,861 and divide it by 2:
10,052,861 ÷ 2 = 5,026,430.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,026,430.5 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 | 10,052,861 | |
| -1 | -10,052,861 |
Now, we try dividing 10,052,861 by 3:
10,052,861 ÷ 3 = 3,350,953.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,350,953.6667 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 | 10,052,861 | |
| -1 | -10,052,861 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,052,861 ÷ 4 = 2,513,215.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,513,215.25 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 | 10,052,861 | |
| -1 | 10,052,861 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 61 | 91 | 427 | 793 | 1,811 | 5,551 | 12,677 | 23,543 | 110,471 | 164,801 | 773,297 | 1,436,123 | 10,052,861 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -61 | -91 | -427 | -793 | -1,811 | -5,551 | -12,677 | -23,543 | -110,471 | -164,801 | -773,297 | -1,436,123 | -10,052,861 |
