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 10,479,455, 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 | 10,479,455 | |
| -1 | -10,479,455 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,479,455.
Example:
1 x 10,479,455 = 10,479,455
and
-1 x -10,479,455 = 10,479,455
Notice both answers equal 10,479,455
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,479,455 and divide it by 2:
10,479,455 ÷ 2 = 5,239,727.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,239,727.5 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 | 10,479,455 | |
| -1 | -10,479,455 |
Now, we try dividing 10,479,455 by 3:
10,479,455 ÷ 3 = 3,493,151.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,493,151.6667 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 | 10,479,455 | |
| -1 | -10,479,455 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,479,455 ÷ 4 = 2,619,863.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,619,863.75 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 | 10,479,455 | |
| -1 | 10,479,455 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 227 | 1,135 | 1,319 | 1,589 | 6,595 | 7,945 | 9,233 | 46,165 | 299,413 | 1,497,065 | 2,095,891 | 10,479,455 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -227 | -1,135 | -1,319 | -1,589 | -6,595 | -7,945 | -9,233 | -46,165 | -299,413 | -1,497,065 | -2,095,891 | -10,479,455 |
