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 10,157,615, 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 | 10,157,615 | |
| -1 | -10,157,615 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,157,615.
Example:
1 x 10,157,615 = 10,157,615
and
-1 x -10,157,615 = 10,157,615
Notice both answers equal 10,157,615
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,157,615 and divide it by 2:
10,157,615 ÷ 2 = 5,078,807.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,078,807.5 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 | 10,157,615 | |
| -1 | -10,157,615 |
Now, we try dividing 10,157,615 by 3:
10,157,615 ÷ 3 = 3,385,871.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,385,871.6667 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 | 10,157,615 | |
| -1 | -10,157,615 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,157,615 ÷ 4 = 2,539,403.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,539,403.75 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 | 10,157,615 | |
| -1 | 10,157,615 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 31 | 65 | 71 | 155 | 355 | 403 | 923 | 2,015 | 2,201 | 4,615 | 5,041 | 11,005 | 25,205 | 28,613 | 65,533 | 143,065 | 156,271 | 327,665 | 781,355 | 2,031,523 | 10,157,615 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -31 | -65 | -71 | -155 | -355 | -403 | -923 | -2,015 | -2,201 | -4,615 | -5,041 | -11,005 | -25,205 | -28,613 | -65,533 | -143,065 | -156,271 | -327,665 | -781,355 | -2,031,523 | -10,157,615 |
