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 10,105,543, 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 | 10,105,543 | |
| -1 | -10,105,543 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,105,543.
Example:
1 x 10,105,543 = 10,105,543
and
-1 x -10,105,543 = 10,105,543
Notice both answers equal 10,105,543
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,105,543 and divide it by 2:
10,105,543 ÷ 2 = 5,052,771.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,052,771.5 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 | 10,105,543 | |
| -1 | -10,105,543 |
Now, we try dividing 10,105,543 by 3:
10,105,543 ÷ 3 = 3,368,514.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,368,514.3333 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 | 10,105,543 | |
| -1 | -10,105,543 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,105,543 ÷ 4 = 2,526,385.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,526,385.75 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 | 10,105,543 | |
| -1 | 10,105,543 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 67 | 203 | 469 | 743 | 1,943 | 5,201 | 13,601 | 21,547 | 49,781 | 150,829 | 348,467 | 1,443,649 | 10,105,543 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -67 | -203 | -469 | -743 | -1,943 | -5,201 | -13,601 | -21,547 | -49,781 | -150,829 | -348,467 | -1,443,649 | -10,105,543 |
