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 10,264,877, 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 | 10,264,877 | |
| -1 | -10,264,877 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,264,877.
Example:
1 x 10,264,877 = 10,264,877
and
-1 x -10,264,877 = 10,264,877
Notice both answers equal 10,264,877
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,264,877 and divide it by 2:
10,264,877 ÷ 2 = 5,132,438.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,132,438.5 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 | 10,264,877 | |
| -1 | -10,264,877 |
Now, we try dividing 10,264,877 by 3:
10,264,877 ÷ 3 = 3,421,625.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,421,625.6667 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 | 10,264,877 | |
| -1 | -10,264,877 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,264,877 ÷ 4 = 2,566,219.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,566,219.25 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 | 10,264,877 | |
| -1 | 10,264,877 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 103 | 161 | 619 | 721 | 2,369 | 4,333 | 14,237 | 16,583 | 63,757 | 99,659 | 446,299 | 1,466,411 | 10,264,877 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -103 | -161 | -619 | -721 | -2,369 | -4,333 | -14,237 | -16,583 | -63,757 | -99,659 | -446,299 | -1,466,411 | -10,264,877 |
