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 10,565,017, 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 | 10,565,017 | |
| -1 | -10,565,017 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,565,017.
Example:
1 x 10,565,017 = 10,565,017
and
-1 x -10,565,017 = 10,565,017
Notice both answers equal 10,565,017
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,565,017 and divide it by 2:
10,565,017 ÷ 2 = 5,282,508.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,282,508.5 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 | 10,565,017 | |
| -1 | -10,565,017 |
Now, we try dividing 10,565,017 by 3:
10,565,017 ÷ 3 = 3,521,672.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,521,672.3333 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 | 10,565,017 | |
| -1 | -10,565,017 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,565,017 ÷ 4 = 2,641,254.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,641,254.25 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 | 10,565,017 | |
| -1 | 10,565,017 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 37 | 61 | 151 | 1,147 | 1,891 | 2,257 | 4,681 | 5,587 | 9,211 | 69,967 | 173,197 | 285,541 | 340,807 | 10,565,017 |
| -1 | -31 | -37 | -61 | -151 | -1,147 | -1,891 | -2,257 | -4,681 | -5,587 | -9,211 | -69,967 | -173,197 | -285,541 | -340,807 | -10,565,017 |
