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 10,660,661, 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 | 10,660,661 | |
| -1 | -10,660,661 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,660,661.
Example:
1 x 10,660,661 = 10,660,661
and
-1 x -10,660,661 = 10,660,661
Notice both answers equal 10,660,661
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,660,661 and divide it by 2:
10,660,661 ÷ 2 = 5,330,330.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,330,330.5 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 | 10,660,661 | |
| -1 | -10,660,661 |
Now, we try dividing 10,660,661 by 3:
10,660,661 ÷ 3 = 3,553,553.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,553,553.6667 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 | 10,660,661 | |
| -1 | -10,660,661 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,660,661 ÷ 4 = 2,665,165.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,665,165.25 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 | 10,660,661 | |
| -1 | 10,660,661 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 29 | 253 | 319 | 667 | 1,453 | 7,337 | 15,983 | 33,419 | 42,137 | 367,609 | 463,507 | 969,151 | 10,660,661 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -29 | -253 | -319 | -667 | -1,453 | -7,337 | -15,983 | -33,419 | -42,137 | -367,609 | -463,507 | -969,151 | -10,660,661 |
