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 10,479,259, 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 | 10,479,259 | |
| -1 | -10,479,259 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,479,259.
Example:
1 x 10,479,259 = 10,479,259
and
-1 x -10,479,259 = 10,479,259
Notice both answers equal 10,479,259
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,479,259 and divide it by 2:
10,479,259 ÷ 2 = 5,239,629.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,239,629.5 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 | 10,479,259 | |
| -1 | -10,479,259 |
Now, we try dividing 10,479,259 by 3:
10,479,259 ÷ 3 = 3,493,086.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,493,086.3333 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 | 10,479,259 | |
| -1 | -10,479,259 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,479,259 ÷ 4 = 2,619,814.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,619,814.75 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 | 10,479,259 | |
| -1 | 10,479,259 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 107 | 119 | 749 | 823 | 1,819 | 5,761 | 12,733 | 13,991 | 88,061 | 97,937 | 616,427 | 1,497,037 | 10,479,259 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -107 | -119 | -749 | -823 | -1,819 | -5,761 | -12,733 | -13,991 | -88,061 | -97,937 | -616,427 | -1,497,037 | -10,479,259 |
