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 10,265,801, 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 | 10,265,801 | |
| -1 | -10,265,801 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,265,801.
Example:
1 x 10,265,801 = 10,265,801
and
-1 x -10,265,801 = 10,265,801
Notice both answers equal 10,265,801
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,265,801 and divide it by 2:
10,265,801 ÷ 2 = 5,132,900.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,132,900.5 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 | 10,265,801 | |
| -1 | -10,265,801 |
Now, we try dividing 10,265,801 by 3:
10,265,801 ÷ 3 = 3,421,933.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,421,933.6667 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 | 10,265,801 | |
| -1 | -10,265,801 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,265,801 ÷ 4 = 2,566,450.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,566,450.25 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 | 10,265,801 | |
| -1 | 10,265,801 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 97 | 679 | 1,163 | 1,261 | 8,141 | 8,827 | 15,119 | 105,833 | 112,811 | 789,677 | 1,466,543 | 10,265,801 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -97 | -679 | -1,163 | -1,261 | -8,141 | -8,827 | -15,119 | -105,833 | -112,811 | -789,677 | -1,466,543 | -10,265,801 |
