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 10,403,701, 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 | 10,403,701 | |
| -1 | -10,403,701 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,403,701.
Example:
1 x 10,403,701 = 10,403,701
and
-1 x -10,403,701 = 10,403,701
Notice both answers equal 10,403,701
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,403,701 and divide it by 2:
10,403,701 ÷ 2 = 5,201,850.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,201,850.5 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 | 10,403,701 | |
| -1 | -10,403,701 |
Now, we try dividing 10,403,701 by 3:
10,403,701 ÷ 3 = 3,467,900.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,467,900.3333 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 | 10,403,701 | |
| -1 | -10,403,701 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,403,701 ÷ 4 = 2,600,925.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,600,925.25 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 | 10,403,701 | |
| -1 | 10,403,701 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 71 | 77 | 121 | 173 | 497 | 781 | 847 | 1,211 | 1,903 | 5,467 | 8,591 | 12,283 | 13,321 | 20,933 | 60,137 | 85,981 | 135,113 | 146,531 | 945,791 | 1,486,243 | 10,403,701 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -71 | -77 | -121 | -173 | -497 | -781 | -847 | -1,211 | -1,903 | -5,467 | -8,591 | -12,283 | -13,321 | -20,933 | -60,137 | -85,981 | -135,113 | -146,531 | -945,791 | -1,486,243 | -10,403,701 |
