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 10,445,233, 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 | 10,445,233 | |
| -1 | -10,445,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,445,233.
Example:
1 x 10,445,233 = 10,445,233
and
-1 x -10,445,233 = 10,445,233
Notice both answers equal 10,445,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,445,233 and divide it by 2:
10,445,233 ÷ 2 = 5,222,616.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,222,616.5 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 | 10,445,233 | |
| -1 | -10,445,233 |
Now, we try dividing 10,445,233 by 3:
10,445,233 ÷ 3 = 3,481,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,481,744.3333 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 | 10,445,233 | |
| -1 | -10,445,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,445,233 ÷ 4 = 2,611,308.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,611,308.25 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 | 10,445,233 | |
| -1 | 10,445,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 47 | 67 | 107 | 1,457 | 2,077 | 3,149 | 3,317 | 5,029 | 7,169 | 97,619 | 155,899 | 222,239 | 336,943 | 10,445,233 |
| -1 | -31 | -47 | -67 | -107 | -1,457 | -2,077 | -3,149 | -3,317 | -5,029 | -7,169 | -97,619 | -155,899 | -222,239 | -336,943 | -10,445,233 |
