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 10,321,625, 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 | 10,321,625 | |
| -1 | -10,321,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,321,625.
Example:
1 x 10,321,625 = 10,321,625
and
-1 x -10,321,625 = 10,321,625
Notice both answers equal 10,321,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,321,625 and divide it by 2:
10,321,625 ÷ 2 = 5,160,812.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,160,812.5 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 | 10,321,625 | |
| -1 | -10,321,625 |
Now, we try dividing 10,321,625 by 3:
10,321,625 ÷ 3 = 3,440,541.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,440,541.6667 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 | 10,321,625 | |
| -1 | -10,321,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,321,625 ÷ 4 = 2,580,406.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,580,406.25 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 | 10,321,625 | |
| -1 | 10,321,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 71 | 125 | 355 | 1,163 | 1,775 | 5,815 | 8,875 | 29,075 | 82,573 | 145,375 | 412,865 | 2,064,325 | 10,321,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -71 | -125 | -355 | -1,163 | -1,775 | -5,815 | -8,875 | -29,075 | -82,573 | -145,375 | -412,865 | -2,064,325 | -10,321,625 |
