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 10,585,435, 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 | 10,585,435 | |
| -1 | -10,585,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,585,435.
Example:
1 x 10,585,435 = 10,585,435
and
-1 x -10,585,435 = 10,585,435
Notice both answers equal 10,585,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,585,435 and divide it by 2:
10,585,435 ÷ 2 = 5,292,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,292,717.5 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 | 10,585,435 | |
| -1 | -10,585,435 |
Now, we try dividing 10,585,435 by 3:
10,585,435 ÷ 3 = 3,528,478.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,528,478.3333 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 | 10,585,435 | |
| -1 | -10,585,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,585,435 ÷ 4 = 2,646,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,646,358.75 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 | 10,585,435 | |
| -1 | 10,585,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 29 | 35 | 145 | 203 | 1,015 | 10,429 | 52,145 | 73,003 | 302,441 | 365,015 | 1,512,205 | 2,117,087 | 10,585,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -29 | -35 | -145 | -203 | -1,015 | -10,429 | -52,145 | -73,003 | -302,441 | -365,015 | -1,512,205 | -2,117,087 | -10,585,435 |
