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 10,324,643, 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 | 10,324,643 | |
| -1 | -10,324,643 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,324,643.
Example:
1 x 10,324,643 = 10,324,643
and
-1 x -10,324,643 = 10,324,643
Notice both answers equal 10,324,643
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,324,643 and divide it by 2:
10,324,643 ÷ 2 = 5,162,321.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,162,321.5 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 | 10,324,643 | |
| -1 | -10,324,643 |
Now, we try dividing 10,324,643 by 3:
10,324,643 ÷ 3 = 3,441,547.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,441,547.6667 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 | 10,324,643 | |
| -1 | -10,324,643 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,324,643 ÷ 4 = 2,581,160.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,581,160.75 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 | 10,324,643 | |
| -1 | 10,324,643 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 49 | 217 | 343 | 971 | 1,519 | 6,797 | 10,633 | 30,101 | 47,579 | 210,707 | 333,053 | 1,474,949 | 10,324,643 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -49 | -217 | -343 | -971 | -1,519 | -6,797 | -10,633 | -30,101 | -47,579 | -210,707 | -333,053 | -1,474,949 | -10,324,643 |
