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 10,454,065, 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 | 10,454,065 | |
| -1 | -10,454,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,454,065.
Example:
1 x 10,454,065 = 10,454,065
and
-1 x -10,454,065 = 10,454,065
Notice both answers equal 10,454,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,454,065 and divide it by 2:
10,454,065 ÷ 2 = 5,227,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,227,032.5 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 | 10,454,065 | |
| -1 | -10,454,065 |
Now, we try dividing 10,454,065 by 3:
10,454,065 ÷ 3 = 3,484,688.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,484,688.3333 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 | 10,454,065 | |
| -1 | -10,454,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,454,065 ÷ 4 = 2,613,516.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,613,516.25 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 | 10,454,065 | |
| -1 | 10,454,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 29 | 85 | 145 | 493 | 2,465 | 4,241 | 21,205 | 72,097 | 122,989 | 360,485 | 614,945 | 2,090,813 | 10,454,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -29 | -85 | -145 | -493 | -2,465 | -4,241 | -21,205 | -72,097 | -122,989 | -360,485 | -614,945 | -2,090,813 | -10,454,065 |
