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 10,463,015, 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 | 10,463,015 | |
| -1 | -10,463,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,463,015.
Example:
1 x 10,463,015 = 10,463,015
and
-1 x -10,463,015 = 10,463,015
Notice both answers equal 10,463,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,463,015 and divide it by 2:
10,463,015 ÷ 2 = 5,231,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,231,507.5 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 | 10,463,015 | |
| -1 | -10,463,015 |
Now, we try dividing 10,463,015 by 3:
10,463,015 ÷ 3 = 3,487,671.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,487,671.6667 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 | 10,463,015 | |
| -1 | -10,463,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,463,015 ÷ 4 = 2,615,753.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,615,753.75 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 | 10,463,015 | |
| -1 | 10,463,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 241 | 457 | 1,205 | 2,285 | 4,579 | 8,683 | 22,895 | 43,415 | 110,137 | 550,685 | 2,092,603 | 10,463,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -241 | -457 | -1,205 | -2,285 | -4,579 | -8,683 | -22,895 | -43,415 | -110,137 | -550,685 | -2,092,603 | -10,463,015 |
