How do I find the factor combinations of the number 10,152,990?

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 10,152,990, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 10,152,990
-1 -10,152,990

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,152,990.

Example:
1 x 10,152,990 = 10,152,990
and
-1 x -10,152,990 = 10,152,990
Notice both answers equal 10,152,990

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,152,990 and divide it by 2:

10,152,990 ÷ 2 = 5,076,495

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,076,495 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 5,076,495 10,152,990
-1 -2 -5,076,495 -10,152,990

Now, we try dividing 10,152,990 by 3:

10,152,990 ÷ 3 = 3,384,330

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,384,330 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 3,384,330 5,076,495 10,152,990
-1 -2 -3 -3,384,330 -5,076,495 -10,152,990

Let's try dividing by 4:

10,152,990 ÷ 4 = 2,538,247.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,538,247.5 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 2 3 3,384,330 5,076,495 10,152,990
-1 -2 -3 -3,384,330 -5,076,495 10,152,990
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

123569101518304590971942914855828739701,1631,4551,7462,3262,9103,4894,3655,8156,9788,73010,46711,63017,44520,93434,89052,335104,670112,811225,622338,433564,055676,8661,015,2991,128,1101,692,1652,030,5983,384,3305,076,49510,152,990
