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 10,422,355, 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 | 10,422,355 | |
| -1 | -10,422,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,422,355.
Example:
1 x 10,422,355 = 10,422,355
and
-1 x -10,422,355 = 10,422,355
Notice both answers equal 10,422,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,422,355 and divide it by 2:
10,422,355 ÷ 2 = 5,211,177.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,211,177.5 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 | 10,422,355 | |
| -1 | -10,422,355 |
Now, we try dividing 10,422,355 by 3:
10,422,355 ÷ 3 = 3,474,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,474,118.3333 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 | 10,422,355 | |
| -1 | -10,422,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,422,355 ÷ 4 = 2,605,588.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,605,588.75 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 | 10,422,355 | |
| -1 | 10,422,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 31 | 95 | 155 | 589 | 2,945 | 3,539 | 17,695 | 67,241 | 109,709 | 336,205 | 548,545 | 2,084,471 | 10,422,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -31 | -95 | -155 | -589 | -2,945 | -3,539 | -17,695 | -67,241 | -109,709 | -336,205 | -548,545 | -2,084,471 | -10,422,355 |
