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 10,502,525, 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 | 10,502,525 | |
| -1 | -10,502,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,502,525.
Example:
1 x 10,502,525 = 10,502,525
and
-1 x -10,502,525 = 10,502,525
Notice both answers equal 10,502,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,502,525 and divide it by 2:
10,502,525 ÷ 2 = 5,251,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,251,262.5 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 | 10,502,525 | |
| -1 | -10,502,525 |
Now, we try dividing 10,502,525 by 3:
10,502,525 ÷ 3 = 3,500,841.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,500,841.6667 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 | 10,502,525 | |
| -1 | -10,502,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,502,525 ÷ 4 = 2,625,631.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,625,631.25 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 | 10,502,525 | |
| -1 | 10,502,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 181 | 211 | 275 | 905 | 1,055 | 1,991 | 2,321 | 4,525 | 5,275 | 9,955 | 11,605 | 38,191 | 49,775 | 58,025 | 190,955 | 420,101 | 954,775 | 2,100,505 | 10,502,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -181 | -211 | -275 | -905 | -1,055 | -1,991 | -2,321 | -4,525 | -5,275 | -9,955 | -11,605 | -38,191 | -49,775 | -58,025 | -190,955 | -420,101 | -954,775 | -2,100,505 | -10,502,525 |
