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 10,474,205, 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 | 10,474,205 | |
| -1 | -10,474,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,474,205.
Example:
1 x 10,474,205 = 10,474,205
and
-1 x -10,474,205 = 10,474,205
Notice both answers equal 10,474,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,474,205 and divide it by 2:
10,474,205 ÷ 2 = 5,237,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,237,102.5 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 | 10,474,205 | |
| -1 | -10,474,205 |
Now, we try dividing 10,474,205 by 3:
10,474,205 ÷ 3 = 3,491,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,491,401.6667 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 | 10,474,205 | |
| -1 | -10,474,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,474,205 ÷ 4 = 2,618,551.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,618,551.25 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 | 10,474,205 | |
| -1 | 10,474,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 101 | 505 | 707 | 2,963 | 3,535 | 14,815 | 20,741 | 103,705 | 299,263 | 1,496,315 | 2,094,841 | 10,474,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -101 | -505 | -707 | -2,963 | -3,535 | -14,815 | -20,741 | -103,705 | -299,263 | -1,496,315 | -2,094,841 | -10,474,205 |
