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 10,516,891, 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 | 10,516,891 | |
| -1 | -10,516,891 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,516,891.
Example:
1 x 10,516,891 = 10,516,891
and
-1 x -10,516,891 = 10,516,891
Notice both answers equal 10,516,891
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,516,891 and divide it by 2:
10,516,891 ÷ 2 = 5,258,445.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,258,445.5 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 | 10,516,891 | |
| -1 | -10,516,891 |
Now, we try dividing 10,516,891 by 3:
10,516,891 ÷ 3 = 3,505,630.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,505,630.3333 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 | 10,516,891 | |
| -1 | -10,516,891 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,516,891 ÷ 4 = 2,629,222.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,629,222.75 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 | 10,516,891 | |
| -1 | 10,516,891 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 73 | 77 | 511 | 803 | 1,871 | 5,621 | 13,097 | 20,581 | 136,583 | 144,067 | 956,081 | 1,502,413 | 10,516,891 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -73 | -77 | -511 | -803 | -1,871 | -5,621 | -13,097 | -20,581 | -136,583 | -144,067 | -956,081 | -1,502,413 | -10,516,891 |
