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 10,214,635, 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 | 10,214,635 | |
| -1 | -10,214,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,214,635.
Example:
1 x 10,214,635 = 10,214,635
and
-1 x -10,214,635 = 10,214,635
Notice both answers equal 10,214,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,214,635 and divide it by 2:
10,214,635 ÷ 2 = 5,107,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,107,317.5 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 | 10,214,635 | |
| -1 | -10,214,635 |
Now, we try dividing 10,214,635 by 3:
10,214,635 ÷ 3 = 3,404,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,404,878.3333 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 | 10,214,635 | |
| -1 | -10,214,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,214,635 ÷ 4 = 2,553,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,553,658.75 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 | 10,214,635 | |
| -1 | 10,214,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 101 | 113 | 179 | 505 | 565 | 895 | 11,413 | 18,079 | 20,227 | 57,065 | 90,395 | 101,135 | 2,042,927 | 10,214,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -101 | -113 | -179 | -505 | -565 | -895 | -11,413 | -18,079 | -20,227 | -57,065 | -90,395 | -101,135 | -2,042,927 | -10,214,635 |
