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 10,581,835, 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 | 10,581,835 | |
| -1 | -10,581,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,581,835.
Example:
1 x 10,581,835 = 10,581,835
and
-1 x -10,581,835 = 10,581,835
Notice both answers equal 10,581,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,581,835 and divide it by 2:
10,581,835 ÷ 2 = 5,290,917.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,290,917.5 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 | 10,581,835 | |
| -1 | -10,581,835 |
Now, we try dividing 10,581,835 by 3:
10,581,835 ÷ 3 = 3,527,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,527,278.3333 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 | 10,581,835 | |
| -1 | -10,581,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,581,835 ÷ 4 = 2,645,458.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,645,458.75 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 | 10,581,835 | |
| -1 | 10,581,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 421 | 457 | 2,105 | 2,285 | 4,631 | 5,027 | 23,155 | 25,135 | 192,397 | 961,985 | 2,116,367 | 10,581,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -421 | -457 | -2,105 | -2,285 | -4,631 | -5,027 | -23,155 | -25,135 | -192,397 | -961,985 | -2,116,367 | -10,581,835 |
