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 10,628,629, 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 | 10,628,629 | |
| -1 | -10,628,629 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,628,629.
Example:
1 x 10,628,629 = 10,628,629
and
-1 x -10,628,629 = 10,628,629
Notice both answers equal 10,628,629
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,628,629 and divide it by 2:
10,628,629 ÷ 2 = 5,314,314.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,314,314.5 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 | 10,628,629 | |
| -1 | -10,628,629 |
Now, we try dividing 10,628,629 by 3:
10,628,629 ÷ 3 = 3,542,876.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,542,876.3333 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 | 10,628,629 | |
| -1 | -10,628,629 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,628,629 ÷ 4 = 2,657,157.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,657,157.25 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 | 10,628,629 | |
| -1 | 10,628,629 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 71 | 341 | 439 | 781 | 2,201 | 4,829 | 13,609 | 24,211 | 31,169 | 149,699 | 342,859 | 966,239 | 10,628,629 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -71 | -341 | -439 | -781 | -2,201 | -4,829 | -13,609 | -24,211 | -31,169 | -149,699 | -342,859 | -966,239 | -10,628,629 |
