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 10,421,747, 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 | 10,421,747 | |
| -1 | -10,421,747 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,421,747.
Example:
1 x 10,421,747 = 10,421,747
and
-1 x -10,421,747 = 10,421,747
Notice both answers equal 10,421,747
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,421,747 and divide it by 2:
10,421,747 ÷ 2 = 5,210,873.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,210,873.5 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 | 10,421,747 | |
| -1 | -10,421,747 |
Now, we try dividing 10,421,747 by 3:
10,421,747 ÷ 3 = 3,473,915.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,473,915.6667 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 | 10,421,747 | |
| -1 | -10,421,747 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,421,747 ÷ 4 = 2,605,436.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,605,436.75 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 | 10,421,747 | |
| -1 | 10,421,747 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 127 | 133 | 617 | 889 | 2,413 | 4,319 | 11,723 | 16,891 | 78,359 | 82,061 | 548,513 | 1,488,821 | 10,421,747 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -127 | -133 | -617 | -889 | -2,413 | -4,319 | -11,723 | -16,891 | -78,359 | -82,061 | -548,513 | -1,488,821 | -10,421,747 |
