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 10,684,453, 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 | 10,684,453 | |
| -1 | -10,684,453 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,684,453.
Example:
1 x 10,684,453 = 10,684,453
and
-1 x -10,684,453 = 10,684,453
Notice both answers equal 10,684,453
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,684,453 and divide it by 2:
10,684,453 ÷ 2 = 5,342,226.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,342,226.5 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 | 10,684,453 | |
| -1 | -10,684,453 |
Now, we try dividing 10,684,453 by 3:
10,684,453 ÷ 3 = 3,561,484.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,561,484.3333 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 | 10,684,453 | |
| -1 | -10,684,453 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,684,453 ÷ 4 = 2,671,113.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,671,113.25 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 | 10,684,453 | |
| -1 | 10,684,453 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 97 | 229 | 481 | 1,261 | 2,977 | 3,589 | 8,473 | 22,213 | 46,657 | 110,149 | 288,769 | 821,881 | 10,684,453 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -97 | -229 | -481 | -1,261 | -2,977 | -3,589 | -8,473 | -22,213 | -46,657 | -110,149 | -288,769 | -821,881 | -10,684,453 |
