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 10,591,799, 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 | 10,591,799 | |
| -1 | -10,591,799 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,591,799.
Example:
1 x 10,591,799 = 10,591,799
and
-1 x -10,591,799 = 10,591,799
Notice both answers equal 10,591,799
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,591,799 and divide it by 2:
10,591,799 ÷ 2 = 5,295,899.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,295,899.5 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 | 10,591,799 | |
| -1 | -10,591,799 |
Now, we try dividing 10,591,799 by 3:
10,591,799 ÷ 3 = 3,530,599.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,530,599.6667 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 | 10,591,799 | |
| -1 | -10,591,799 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,591,799 ÷ 4 = 2,647,949.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,647,949.75 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 | 10,591,799 | |
| -1 | 10,591,799 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 103 | 263 | 391 | 1,751 | 2,369 | 4,471 | 6,049 | 27,089 | 40,273 | 102,833 | 460,513 | 623,047 | 10,591,799 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -103 | -263 | -391 | -1,751 | -2,369 | -4,471 | -6,049 | -27,089 | -40,273 | -102,833 | -460,513 | -623,047 | -10,591,799 |
