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 10,433,501, 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 | 10,433,501 | |
| -1 | -10,433,501 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,433,501.
Example:
1 x 10,433,501 = 10,433,501
and
-1 x -10,433,501 = 10,433,501
Notice both answers equal 10,433,501
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,433,501 and divide it by 2:
10,433,501 ÷ 2 = 5,216,750.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,216,750.5 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 | 10,433,501 | |
| -1 | -10,433,501 |
Now, we try dividing 10,433,501 by 3:
10,433,501 ÷ 3 = 3,477,833.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,477,833.6667 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 | 10,433,501 | |
| -1 | -10,433,501 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,433,501 ÷ 4 = 2,608,375.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,608,375.25 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 | 10,433,501 | |
| -1 | 10,433,501 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 59 | 61 | 223 | 767 | 793 | 2,899 | 3,599 | 13,157 | 13,603 | 46,787 | 171,041 | 176,839 | 802,577 | 10,433,501 |
| -1 | -13 | -59 | -61 | -223 | -767 | -793 | -2,899 | -3,599 | -13,157 | -13,603 | -46,787 | -171,041 | -176,839 | -802,577 | -10,433,501 |
