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 10,331,041, 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 | 10,331,041 | |
| -1 | -10,331,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,331,041.
Example:
1 x 10,331,041 = 10,331,041
and
-1 x -10,331,041 = 10,331,041
Notice both answers equal 10,331,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,331,041 and divide it by 2:
10,331,041 ÷ 2 = 5,165,520.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,165,520.5 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 | 10,331,041 | |
| -1 | -10,331,041 |
Now, we try dividing 10,331,041 by 3:
10,331,041 ÷ 3 = 3,443,680.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,443,680.3333 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 | 10,331,041 | |
| -1 | -10,331,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,331,041 ÷ 4 = 2,582,760.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,582,760.25 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 | 10,331,041 | |
| -1 | 10,331,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 173 | 449 | 1,211 | 3,143 | 3,287 | 8,531 | 23,009 | 59,717 | 77,677 | 543,739 | 1,475,863 | 10,331,041 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -173 | -449 | -1,211 | -3,143 | -3,287 | -8,531 | -23,009 | -59,717 | -77,677 | -543,739 | -1,475,863 | -10,331,041 |
