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 10,659,901, 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 | 10,659,901 | |
| -1 | -10,659,901 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,659,901.
Example:
1 x 10,659,901 = 10,659,901
and
-1 x -10,659,901 = 10,659,901
Notice both answers equal 10,659,901
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,659,901 and divide it by 2:
10,659,901 ÷ 2 = 5,329,950.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,329,950.5 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 | 10,659,901 | |
| -1 | -10,659,901 |
Now, we try dividing 10,659,901 by 3:
10,659,901 ÷ 3 = 3,553,300.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,553,300.3333 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 | 10,659,901 | |
| -1 | -10,659,901 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,659,901 ÷ 4 = 2,664,975.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,664,975.25 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 | 10,659,901 | |
| -1 | 10,659,901 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 49 | 67 | 119 | 191 | 469 | 833 | 1,139 | 1,337 | 3,247 | 3,283 | 7,973 | 9,359 | 12,797 | 22,729 | 55,811 | 89,579 | 159,103 | 217,549 | 627,053 | 1,522,843 | 10,659,901 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -49 | -67 | -119 | -191 | -469 | -833 | -1,139 | -1,337 | -3,247 | -3,283 | -7,973 | -9,359 | -12,797 | -22,729 | -55,811 | -89,579 | -159,103 | -217,549 | -627,053 | -1,522,843 | -10,659,901 |
