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 10,460,359, 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 | 10,460,359 | |
| -1 | -10,460,359 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,460,359.
Example:
1 x 10,460,359 = 10,460,359
and
-1 x -10,460,359 = 10,460,359
Notice both answers equal 10,460,359
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,460,359 and divide it by 2:
10,460,359 ÷ 2 = 5,230,179.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,230,179.5 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 | 10,460,359 | |
| -1 | -10,460,359 |
Now, we try dividing 10,460,359 by 3:
10,460,359 ÷ 3 = 3,486,786.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,486,786.3333 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 | 10,460,359 | |
| -1 | -10,460,359 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,460,359 ÷ 4 = 2,615,089.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,615,089.75 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 | 10,460,359 | |
| -1 | 10,460,359 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 71 | 91 | 497 | 923 | 1,619 | 6,461 | 11,333 | 21,047 | 114,949 | 147,329 | 804,643 | 1,494,337 | 10,460,359 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -71 | -91 | -497 | -923 | -1,619 | -6,461 | -11,333 | -21,047 | -114,949 | -147,329 | -804,643 | -1,494,337 | -10,460,359 |
