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 10,460,723, 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 | 10,460,723 | |
| -1 | -10,460,723 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,460,723.
Example:
1 x 10,460,723 = 10,460,723
and
-1 x -10,460,723 = 10,460,723
Notice both answers equal 10,460,723
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,460,723 and divide it by 2:
10,460,723 ÷ 2 = 5,230,361.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,230,361.5 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 | 10,460,723 | |
| -1 | -10,460,723 |
Now, we try dividing 10,460,723 by 3:
10,460,723 ÷ 3 = 3,486,907.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,486,907.6667 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 | 10,460,723 | |
| -1 | -10,460,723 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,460,723 ÷ 4 = 2,615,180.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,615,180.75 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 | 10,460,723 | |
| -1 | 10,460,723 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 139 | 827 | 973 | 1,807 | 5,789 | 10,751 | 12,649 | 75,257 | 114,953 | 804,671 | 1,494,389 | 10,460,723 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -139 | -827 | -973 | -1,807 | -5,789 | -10,751 | -12,649 | -75,257 | -114,953 | -804,671 | -1,494,389 | -10,460,723 |
