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 10,126,373, 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 | 10,126,373 | |
| -1 | -10,126,373 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,126,373.
Example:
1 x 10,126,373 = 10,126,373
and
-1 x -10,126,373 = 10,126,373
Notice both answers equal 10,126,373
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,126,373 and divide it by 2:
10,126,373 ÷ 2 = 5,063,186.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,063,186.5 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 | 10,126,373 | |
| -1 | -10,126,373 |
Now, we try dividing 10,126,373 by 3:
10,126,373 ÷ 3 = 3,375,457.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,375,457.6667 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 | 10,126,373 | |
| -1 | -10,126,373 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,126,373 ÷ 4 = 2,531,593.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,531,593.25 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 | 10,126,373 | |
| -1 | 10,126,373 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 107 | 293 | 323 | 1,819 | 2,033 | 4,981 | 5,567 | 31,351 | 34,561 | 94,639 | 532,967 | 595,669 | 10,126,373 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -107 | -293 | -323 | -1,819 | -2,033 | -4,981 | -5,567 | -31,351 | -34,561 | -94,639 | -532,967 | -595,669 | -10,126,373 |
