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 10,533,211, 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 | 10,533,211 | |
| -1 | -10,533,211 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,533,211.
Example:
1 x 10,533,211 = 10,533,211
and
-1 x -10,533,211 = 10,533,211
Notice both answers equal 10,533,211
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,533,211 and divide it by 2:
10,533,211 ÷ 2 = 5,266,605.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,266,605.5 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 | 10,533,211 | |
| -1 | -10,533,211 |
Now, we try dividing 10,533,211 by 3:
10,533,211 ÷ 3 = 3,511,070.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,511,070.3333 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 | 10,533,211 | |
| -1 | -10,533,211 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,533,211 ÷ 4 = 2,633,302.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,633,302.75 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 | 10,533,211 | |
| -1 | 10,533,211 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 59 | 403 | 443 | 767 | 1,829 | 5,759 | 13,733 | 23,777 | 26,137 | 178,529 | 339,781 | 810,247 | 10,533,211 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -59 | -403 | -443 | -767 | -1,829 | -5,759 | -13,733 | -23,777 | -26,137 | -178,529 | -339,781 | -810,247 | -10,533,211 |
