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 10,229,485, 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 | 10,229,485 | |
| -1 | -10,229,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,229,485.
Example:
1 x 10,229,485 = 10,229,485
and
-1 x -10,229,485 = 10,229,485
Notice both answers equal 10,229,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,229,485 and divide it by 2:
10,229,485 ÷ 2 = 5,114,742.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,114,742.5 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 | 10,229,485 | |
| -1 | -10,229,485 |
Now, we try dividing 10,229,485 by 3:
10,229,485 ÷ 3 = 3,409,828.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,409,828.3333 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 | 10,229,485 | |
| -1 | -10,229,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,229,485 ÷ 4 = 2,557,371.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,557,371.25 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 | 10,229,485 | |
| -1 | 10,229,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 43 | 49 | 215 | 245 | 301 | 971 | 1,505 | 2,107 | 4,855 | 6,797 | 10,535 | 33,985 | 41,753 | 47,579 | 208,765 | 237,895 | 292,271 | 1,461,355 | 2,045,897 | 10,229,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -43 | -49 | -215 | -245 | -301 | -971 | -1,505 | -2,107 | -4,855 | -6,797 | -10,535 | -33,985 | -41,753 | -47,579 | -208,765 | -237,895 | -292,271 | -1,461,355 | -2,045,897 | -10,229,485 |
