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 10,592,173, 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 | 10,592,173 | |
| -1 | -10,592,173 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,592,173.
Example:
1 x 10,592,173 = 10,592,173
and
-1 x -10,592,173 = 10,592,173
Notice both answers equal 10,592,173
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,592,173 and divide it by 2:
10,592,173 ÷ 2 = 5,296,086.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,296,086.5 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 | 10,592,173 | |
| -1 | -10,592,173 |
Now, we try dividing 10,592,173 by 3:
10,592,173 ÷ 3 = 3,530,724.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,530,724.3333 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 | 10,592,173 | |
| -1 | -10,592,173 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,592,173 ÷ 4 = 2,648,043.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,648,043.25 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 | 10,592,173 | |
| -1 | 10,592,173 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 101 | 199 | 527 | 1,717 | 3,131 | 3,383 | 6,169 | 20,099 | 53,227 | 104,873 | 341,683 | 623,069 | 10,592,173 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -101 | -199 | -527 | -1,717 | -3,131 | -3,383 | -6,169 | -20,099 | -53,227 | -104,873 | -341,683 | -623,069 | -10,592,173 |
