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 10,405,103, 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 | 10,405,103 | |
| -1 | -10,405,103 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,405,103.
Example:
1 x 10,405,103 = 10,405,103
and
-1 x -10,405,103 = 10,405,103
Notice both answers equal 10,405,103
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,405,103 and divide it by 2:
10,405,103 ÷ 2 = 5,202,551.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,202,551.5 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 | 10,405,103 | |
| -1 | -10,405,103 |
Now, we try dividing 10,405,103 by 3:
10,405,103 ÷ 3 = 3,468,367.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,468,367.6667 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 | 10,405,103 | |
| -1 | -10,405,103 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,405,103 ÷ 4 = 2,601,275.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,601,275.75 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 | 10,405,103 | |
| -1 | 10,405,103 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 41 | 361 | 703 | 779 | 1,517 | 6,859 | 13,357 | 14,801 | 28,823 | 253,783 | 281,219 | 547,637 | 10,405,103 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -41 | -361 | -703 | -779 | -1,517 | -6,859 | -13,357 | -14,801 | -28,823 | -253,783 | -281,219 | -547,637 | -10,405,103 |
