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 10,244,377, 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 | 10,244,377 | |
| -1 | -10,244,377 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,244,377.
Example:
1 x 10,244,377 = 10,244,377
and
-1 x -10,244,377 = 10,244,377
Notice both answers equal 10,244,377
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,244,377 and divide it by 2:
10,244,377 ÷ 2 = 5,122,188.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,122,188.5 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 | 10,244,377 | |
| -1 | -10,244,377 |
Now, we try dividing 10,244,377 by 3:
10,244,377 ÷ 3 = 3,414,792.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,414,792.3333 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 | 10,244,377 | |
| -1 | -10,244,377 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,244,377 ÷ 4 = 2,561,094.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,561,094.25 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 | 10,244,377 | |
| -1 | 10,244,377 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 71 | 143 | 781 | 923 | 1,009 | 10,153 | 11,099 | 13,117 | 71,639 | 144,287 | 788,029 | 931,307 | 10,244,377 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -71 | -143 | -781 | -923 | -1,009 | -10,153 | -11,099 | -13,117 | -71,639 | -144,287 | -788,029 | -931,307 | -10,244,377 |
