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 10,312,345, 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 | 10,312,345 | |
| -1 | -10,312,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,312,345.
Example:
1 x 10,312,345 = 10,312,345
and
-1 x -10,312,345 = 10,312,345
Notice both answers equal 10,312,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,312,345 and divide it by 2:
10,312,345 ÷ 2 = 5,156,172.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,156,172.5 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 | 10,312,345 | |
| -1 | -10,312,345 |
Now, we try dividing 10,312,345 by 3:
10,312,345 ÷ 3 = 3,437,448.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,437,448.3333 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 | 10,312,345 | |
| -1 | -10,312,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,312,345 ÷ 4 = 2,578,086.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,578,086.25 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 | 10,312,345 | |
| -1 | 10,312,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 73 | 95 | 365 | 1,387 | 1,487 | 6,935 | 7,435 | 28,253 | 108,551 | 141,265 | 542,755 | 2,062,469 | 10,312,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -73 | -95 | -365 | -1,387 | -1,487 | -6,935 | -7,435 | -28,253 | -108,551 | -141,265 | -542,755 | -2,062,469 | -10,312,345 |
