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 10,275,089, 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 | 10,275,089 | |
| -1 | -10,275,089 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,275,089.
Example:
1 x 10,275,089 = 10,275,089
and
-1 x -10,275,089 = 10,275,089
Notice both answers equal 10,275,089
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,275,089 and divide it by 2:
10,275,089 ÷ 2 = 5,137,544.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,137,544.5 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 | 10,275,089 | |
| -1 | -10,275,089 |
Now, we try dividing 10,275,089 by 3:
10,275,089 ÷ 3 = 3,425,029.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,425,029.6667 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 | 10,275,089 | |
| -1 | -10,275,089 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,275,089 ÷ 4 = 2,568,772.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,568,772.25 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 | 10,275,089 | |
| -1 | 10,275,089 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 23 | 187 | 253 | 391 | 2,389 | 4,301 | 26,279 | 40,613 | 54,947 | 446,743 | 604,417 | 934,099 | 10,275,089 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -23 | -187 | -253 | -391 | -2,389 | -4,301 | -26,279 | -40,613 | -54,947 | -446,743 | -604,417 | -934,099 | -10,275,089 |
