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 10,374,833, 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 | 10,374,833 | |
| -1 | -10,374,833 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,374,833.
Example:
1 x 10,374,833 = 10,374,833
and
-1 x -10,374,833 = 10,374,833
Notice both answers equal 10,374,833
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,374,833 and divide it by 2:
10,374,833 ÷ 2 = 5,187,416.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,187,416.5 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 | 10,374,833 | |
| -1 | -10,374,833 |
Now, we try dividing 10,374,833 by 3:
10,374,833 ÷ 3 = 3,458,277.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,458,277.6667 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 | 10,374,833 | |
| -1 | -10,374,833 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,374,833 ÷ 4 = 2,593,708.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,593,708.25 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 | 10,374,833 | |
| -1 | 10,374,833 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 73 | 79 | 257 | 511 | 553 | 1,799 | 5,767 | 18,761 | 20,303 | 40,369 | 131,327 | 142,121 | 1,482,119 | 10,374,833 |
| -1 | -7 | -73 | -79 | -257 | -511 | -553 | -1,799 | -5,767 | -18,761 | -20,303 | -40,369 | -131,327 | -142,121 | -1,482,119 | -10,374,833 |
