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 10,481,767, 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 | 10,481,767 | |
| -1 | -10,481,767 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,481,767.
Example:
1 x 10,481,767 = 10,481,767
and
-1 x -10,481,767 = 10,481,767
Notice both answers equal 10,481,767
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,481,767 and divide it by 2:
10,481,767 ÷ 2 = 5,240,883.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,240,883.5 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 | 10,481,767 | |
| -1 | -10,481,767 |
Now, we try dividing 10,481,767 by 3:
10,481,767 ÷ 3 = 3,493,922.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,493,922.3333 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 | 10,481,767 | |
| -1 | -10,481,767 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,481,767 ÷ 4 = 2,620,441.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,620,441.75 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 | 10,481,767 | |
| -1 | 10,481,767 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 37 | 109 | 113 | 851 | 2,507 | 2,599 | 4,033 | 4,181 | 12,317 | 92,759 | 96,163 | 283,291 | 455,729 | 10,481,767 |
| -1 | -23 | -37 | -109 | -113 | -851 | -2,507 | -2,599 | -4,033 | -4,181 | -12,317 | -92,759 | -96,163 | -283,291 | -455,729 | -10,481,767 |
