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 10,659,943, 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 | 10,659,943 | |
| -1 | -10,659,943 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,659,943.
Example:
1 x 10,659,943 = 10,659,943
and
-1 x -10,659,943 = 10,659,943
Notice both answers equal 10,659,943
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,659,943 and divide it by 2:
10,659,943 ÷ 2 = 5,329,971.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,329,971.5 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 | 10,659,943 | |
| -1 | -10,659,943 |
Now, we try dividing 10,659,943 by 3:
10,659,943 ÷ 3 = 3,553,314.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,553,314.3333 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 | 10,659,943 | |
| -1 | -10,659,943 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,659,943 ÷ 4 = 2,664,985.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,664,985.75 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 | 10,659,943 | |
| -1 | 10,659,943 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 59 | 371 | 413 | 487 | 3,127 | 3,409 | 21,889 | 25,811 | 28,733 | 180,677 | 201,131 | 1,522,849 | 10,659,943 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -59 | -371 | -413 | -487 | -3,127 | -3,409 | -21,889 | -25,811 | -28,733 | -180,677 | -201,131 | -1,522,849 | -10,659,943 |
