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 10,304,329, 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 | 10,304,329 | |
| -1 | -10,304,329 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,304,329.
Example:
1 x 10,304,329 = 10,304,329
and
-1 x -10,304,329 = 10,304,329
Notice both answers equal 10,304,329
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,304,329 and divide it by 2:
10,304,329 ÷ 2 = 5,152,164.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,152,164.5 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 | 10,304,329 | |
| -1 | -10,304,329 |
Now, we try dividing 10,304,329 by 3:
10,304,329 ÷ 3 = 3,434,776.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,434,776.3333 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 | 10,304,329 | |
| -1 | -10,304,329 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,304,329 ÷ 4 = 2,576,082.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,576,082.25 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 | 10,304,329 | |
| -1 | 10,304,329 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 131 | 661 | 917 | 2,227 | 4,627 | 11,237 | 15,589 | 78,659 | 86,591 | 606,137 | 1,472,047 | 10,304,329 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -131 | -661 | -917 | -2,227 | -4,627 | -11,237 | -15,589 | -78,659 | -86,591 | -606,137 | -1,472,047 | -10,304,329 |
