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 10,410,043, 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 | 10,410,043 | |
| -1 | -10,410,043 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,410,043.
Example:
1 x 10,410,043 = 10,410,043
and
-1 x -10,410,043 = 10,410,043
Notice both answers equal 10,410,043
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,410,043 and divide it by 2:
10,410,043 ÷ 2 = 5,205,021.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,205,021.5 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 | 10,410,043 | |
| -1 | -10,410,043 |
Now, we try dividing 10,410,043 by 3:
10,410,043 ÷ 3 = 3,470,014.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,470,014.3333 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 | 10,410,043 | |
| -1 | -10,410,043 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,410,043 ÷ 4 = 2,602,510.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,602,510.75 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 | 10,410,043 | |
| -1 | 10,410,043 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 29 | 133 | 203 | 551 | 2,699 | 3,857 | 18,893 | 51,281 | 78,271 | 358,967 | 547,897 | 1,487,149 | 10,410,043 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -29 | -133 | -203 | -551 | -2,699 | -3,857 | -18,893 | -51,281 | -78,271 | -358,967 | -547,897 | -1,487,149 | -10,410,043 |
