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 10,261,339, 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 | 10,261,339 | |
| -1 | -10,261,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,261,339.
Example:
1 x 10,261,339 = 10,261,339
and
-1 x -10,261,339 = 10,261,339
Notice both answers equal 10,261,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,261,339 and divide it by 2:
10,261,339 ÷ 2 = 5,130,669.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,130,669.5 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 | 10,261,339 | |
| -1 | -10,261,339 |
Now, we try dividing 10,261,339 by 3:
10,261,339 ÷ 3 = 3,420,446.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,420,446.3333 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 | 10,261,339 | |
| -1 | -10,261,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,261,339 ÷ 4 = 2,565,334.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,565,334.75 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 | 10,261,339 | |
| -1 | 10,261,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 59 | 97 | 163 | 649 | 1,067 | 1,793 | 5,723 | 9,617 | 15,811 | 62,953 | 105,787 | 173,921 | 932,849 | 10,261,339 |
| -1 | -11 | -59 | -97 | -163 | -649 | -1,067 | -1,793 | -5,723 | -9,617 | -15,811 | -62,953 | -105,787 | -173,921 | -932,849 | -10,261,339 |
