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 10,612,777, 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 | 10,612,777 | |
| -1 | -10,612,777 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,612,777.
Example:
1 x 10,612,777 = 10,612,777
and
-1 x -10,612,777 = 10,612,777
Notice both answers equal 10,612,777
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,612,777 and divide it by 2:
10,612,777 ÷ 2 = 5,306,388.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,306,388.5 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 | 10,612,777 | |
| -1 | -10,612,777 |
Now, we try dividing 10,612,777 by 3:
10,612,777 ÷ 3 = 3,537,592.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,537,592.3333 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 | 10,612,777 | |
| -1 | -10,612,777 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,612,777 ÷ 4 = 2,653,194.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,653,194.25 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 | 10,612,777 | |
| -1 | 10,612,777 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 101 | 119 | 707 | 883 | 1,717 | 6,181 | 12,019 | 15,011 | 89,183 | 105,077 | 624,281 | 1,516,111 | 10,612,777 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -101 | -119 | -707 | -883 | -1,717 | -6,181 | -12,019 | -15,011 | -89,183 | -105,077 | -624,281 | -1,516,111 | -10,612,777 |
