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 10,148,177, 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 | 10,148,177 | |
| -1 | -10,148,177 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,148,177.
Example:
1 x 10,148,177 = 10,148,177
and
-1 x -10,148,177 = 10,148,177
Notice both answers equal 10,148,177
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,148,177 and divide it by 2:
10,148,177 ÷ 2 = 5,074,088.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,074,088.5 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 | 10,148,177 | |
| -1 | -10,148,177 |
Now, we try dividing 10,148,177 by 3:
10,148,177 ÷ 3 = 3,382,725.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,382,725.6667 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 | 10,148,177 | |
| -1 | -10,148,177 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,148,177 ÷ 4 = 2,537,044.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,537,044.25 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 | 10,148,177 | |
| -1 | 10,148,177 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 101 | 131 | 767 | 1,313 | 1,703 | 5,959 | 7,729 | 13,231 | 77,467 | 100,477 | 172,003 | 780,629 | 10,148,177 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -101 | -131 | -767 | -1,313 | -1,703 | -5,959 | -7,729 | -13,231 | -77,467 | -100,477 | -172,003 | -780,629 | -10,148,177 |
