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 10,107,361, 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 | 10,107,361 | |
| -1 | -10,107,361 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,107,361.
Example:
1 x 10,107,361 = 10,107,361
and
-1 x -10,107,361 = 10,107,361
Notice both answers equal 10,107,361
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,107,361 and divide it by 2:
10,107,361 ÷ 2 = 5,053,680.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,053,680.5 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 | 10,107,361 | |
| -1 | -10,107,361 |
Now, we try dividing 10,107,361 by 3:
10,107,361 ÷ 3 = 3,369,120.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,369,120.3333 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 | 10,107,361 | |
| -1 | -10,107,361 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,107,361 ÷ 4 = 2,526,840.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,526,840.25 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 | 10,107,361 | |
| -1 | 10,107,361 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 41 | 73 | 307 | 451 | 803 | 2,993 | 3,377 | 12,587 | 22,411 | 32,923 | 138,457 | 246,521 | 918,851 | 10,107,361 |
| -1 | -11 | -41 | -73 | -307 | -451 | -803 | -2,993 | -3,377 | -12,587 | -22,411 | -32,923 | -138,457 | -246,521 | -918,851 | -10,107,361 |
