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 10,082,717, 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 | 10,082,717 | |
| -1 | -10,082,717 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,082,717.
Example:
1 x 10,082,717 = 10,082,717
and
-1 x -10,082,717 = 10,082,717
Notice both answers equal 10,082,717
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,082,717 and divide it by 2:
10,082,717 ÷ 2 = 5,041,358.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,041,358.5 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 | 10,082,717 | |
| -1 | -10,082,717 |
Now, we try dividing 10,082,717 by 3:
10,082,717 ÷ 3 = 3,360,905.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,360,905.6667 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 | 10,082,717 | |
| -1 | -10,082,717 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,082,717 ÷ 4 = 2,520,679.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,520,679.25 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 | 10,082,717 | |
| -1 | 10,082,717 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 107 | 241 | 391 | 1,819 | 2,461 | 4,097 | 5,543 | 25,787 | 41,837 | 94,231 | 438,379 | 593,101 | 10,082,717 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -107 | -241 | -391 | -1,819 | -2,461 | -4,097 | -5,543 | -25,787 | -41,837 | -94,231 | -438,379 | -593,101 | -10,082,717 |
