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 10,191,857, 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 | 10,191,857 | |
| -1 | -10,191,857 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,191,857.
Example:
1 x 10,191,857 = 10,191,857
and
-1 x -10,191,857 = 10,191,857
Notice both answers equal 10,191,857
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,191,857 and divide it by 2:
10,191,857 ÷ 2 = 5,095,928.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,095,928.5 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 | 10,191,857 | |
| -1 | -10,191,857 |
Now, we try dividing 10,191,857 by 3:
10,191,857 ÷ 3 = 3,397,285.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,397,285.6667 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 | 10,191,857 | |
| -1 | -10,191,857 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,191,857 ÷ 4 = 2,547,964.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,547,964.25 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 | 10,191,857 | |
| -1 | 10,191,857 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 107 | 221 | 431 | 1,391 | 1,819 | 5,603 | 7,327 | 23,647 | 46,117 | 95,251 | 599,521 | 783,989 | 10,191,857 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -107 | -221 | -431 | -1,391 | -1,819 | -5,603 | -7,327 | -23,647 | -46,117 | -95,251 | -599,521 | -783,989 | -10,191,857 |
