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 10,540,543, 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 | 10,540,543 | |
| -1 | -10,540,543 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,540,543.
Example:
1 x 10,540,543 = 10,540,543
and
-1 x -10,540,543 = 10,540,543
Notice both answers equal 10,540,543
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,540,543 and divide it by 2:
10,540,543 ÷ 2 = 5,270,271.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,270,271.5 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 | 10,540,543 | |
| -1 | -10,540,543 |
Now, we try dividing 10,540,543 by 3:
10,540,543 ÷ 3 = 3,513,514.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,513,514.3333 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 | 10,540,543 | |
| -1 | -10,540,543 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,540,543 ÷ 4 = 2,635,135.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,635,135.75 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 | 10,540,543 | |
| -1 | 10,540,543 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 73 | 377 | 383 | 949 | 2,117 | 4,979 | 11,107 | 27,521 | 27,959 | 144,391 | 363,467 | 810,811 | 10,540,543 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -73 | -377 | -383 | -949 | -2,117 | -4,979 | -11,107 | -27,521 | -27,959 | -144,391 | -363,467 | -810,811 | -10,540,543 |
