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 10,435,205, 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 | 10,435,205 | |
| -1 | -10,435,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,435,205.
Example:
1 x 10,435,205 = 10,435,205
and
-1 x -10,435,205 = 10,435,205
Notice both answers equal 10,435,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,435,205 and divide it by 2:
10,435,205 ÷ 2 = 5,217,602.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,217,602.5 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 | 10,435,205 | |
| -1 | -10,435,205 |
Now, we try dividing 10,435,205 by 3:
10,435,205 ÷ 3 = 3,478,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,478,401.6667 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 | 10,435,205 | |
| -1 | -10,435,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,435,205 ÷ 4 = 2,608,801.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,608,801.25 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 | 10,435,205 | |
| -1 | 10,435,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 337 | 563 | 1,685 | 2,815 | 3,707 | 6,193 | 18,535 | 30,965 | 189,731 | 948,655 | 2,087,041 | 10,435,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -337 | -563 | -1,685 | -2,815 | -3,707 | -6,193 | -18,535 | -30,965 | -189,731 | -948,655 | -2,087,041 | -10,435,205 |
