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 10,334,423, 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 | 10,334,423 | |
| -1 | -10,334,423 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,334,423.
Example:
1 x 10,334,423 = 10,334,423
and
-1 x -10,334,423 = 10,334,423
Notice both answers equal 10,334,423
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,334,423 and divide it by 2:
10,334,423 ÷ 2 = 5,167,211.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,167,211.5 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 | 10,334,423 | |
| -1 | -10,334,423 |
Now, we try dividing 10,334,423 by 3:
10,334,423 ÷ 3 = 3,444,807.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,444,807.6667 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 | 10,334,423 | |
| -1 | -10,334,423 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,334,423 ÷ 4 = 2,583,605.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,583,605.75 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 | 10,334,423 | |
| -1 | 10,334,423 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 197 | 209 | 251 | 2,167 | 2,761 | 3,743 | 4,769 | 41,173 | 49,447 | 52,459 | 543,917 | 939,493 | 10,334,423 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -197 | -209 | -251 | -2,167 | -2,761 | -3,743 | -4,769 | -41,173 | -49,447 | -52,459 | -543,917 | -939,493 | -10,334,423 |
