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 10,692,875, 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 | 10,692,875 | |
| -1 | -10,692,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,692,875.
Example:
1 x 10,692,875 = 10,692,875
and
-1 x -10,692,875 = 10,692,875
Notice both answers equal 10,692,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,692,875 and divide it by 2:
10,692,875 ÷ 2 = 5,346,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,346,437.5 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 | 10,692,875 | |
| -1 | -10,692,875 |
Now, we try dividing 10,692,875 by 3:
10,692,875 ÷ 3 = 3,564,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,564,291.6667 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 | 10,692,875 | |
| -1 | -10,692,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,692,875 ÷ 4 = 2,673,218.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,673,218.75 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 | 10,692,875 | |
| -1 | 10,692,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 131 | 653 | 655 | 3,265 | 3,275 | 16,325 | 16,375 | 81,625 | 85,543 | 427,715 | 2,138,575 | 10,692,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -131 | -653 | -655 | -3,265 | -3,275 | -16,325 | -16,375 | -81,625 | -85,543 | -427,715 | -2,138,575 | -10,692,875 |
