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 10,550,353, 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 | 10,550,353 | |
| -1 | -10,550,353 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,550,353.
Example:
1 x 10,550,353 = 10,550,353
and
-1 x -10,550,353 = 10,550,353
Notice both answers equal 10,550,353
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,550,353 and divide it by 2:
10,550,353 ÷ 2 = 5,275,176.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,275,176.5 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 | 10,550,353 | |
| -1 | -10,550,353 |
Now, we try dividing 10,550,353 by 3:
10,550,353 ÷ 3 = 3,516,784.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,516,784.3333 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 | 10,550,353 | |
| -1 | -10,550,353 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,550,353 ÷ 4 = 2,637,588.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,637,588.25 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 | 10,550,353 | |
| -1 | 10,550,353 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 23 | 121 | 187 | 223 | 253 | 391 | 2,057 | 2,453 | 2,783 | 3,791 | 4,301 | 5,129 | 26,983 | 41,701 | 47,311 | 56,419 | 87,193 | 458,711 | 620,609 | 959,123 | 10,550,353 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -23 | -121 | -187 | -223 | -253 | -391 | -2,057 | -2,453 | -2,783 | -3,791 | -4,301 | -5,129 | -26,983 | -41,701 | -47,311 | -56,419 | -87,193 | -458,711 | -620,609 | -959,123 | -10,550,353 |
