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 10,336,255, 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 | 10,336,255 | |
| -1 | -10,336,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,336,255.
Example:
1 x 10,336,255 = 10,336,255
and
-1 x -10,336,255 = 10,336,255
Notice both answers equal 10,336,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,336,255 and divide it by 2:
10,336,255 ÷ 2 = 5,168,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,168,127.5 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 | 10,336,255 | |
| -1 | -10,336,255 |
Now, we try dividing 10,336,255 by 3:
10,336,255 ÷ 3 = 3,445,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,445,418.3333 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 | 10,336,255 | |
| -1 | -10,336,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,336,255 ÷ 4 = 2,584,063.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,584,063.75 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 | 10,336,255 | |
| -1 | 10,336,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 277 | 439 | 1,385 | 2,195 | 4,709 | 7,463 | 23,545 | 37,315 | 121,603 | 608,015 | 2,067,251 | 10,336,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -277 | -439 | -1,385 | -2,195 | -4,709 | -7,463 | -23,545 | -37,315 | -121,603 | -608,015 | -2,067,251 | -10,336,255 |
