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 10,366,655, 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 | 10,366,655 | |
| -1 | -10,366,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,366,655.
Example:
1 x 10,366,655 = 10,366,655
and
-1 x -10,366,655 = 10,366,655
Notice both answers equal 10,366,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,366,655 and divide it by 2:
10,366,655 ÷ 2 = 5,183,327.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,183,327.5 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 | 10,366,655 | |
| -1 | -10,366,655 |
Now, we try dividing 10,366,655 by 3:
10,366,655 ÷ 3 = 3,455,551.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,455,551.6667 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 | 10,366,655 | |
| -1 | -10,366,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,366,655 ÷ 4 = 2,591,663.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,591,663.75 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 | 10,366,655 | |
| -1 | 10,366,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 43 | 65 | 215 | 559 | 2,795 | 3,709 | 18,545 | 48,217 | 159,487 | 241,085 | 797,435 | 2,073,331 | 10,366,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -43 | -65 | -215 | -559 | -2,795 | -3,709 | -18,545 | -48,217 | -159,487 | -241,085 | -797,435 | -2,073,331 | -10,366,655 |
