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 10,716,167, 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 | 10,716,167 | |
| -1 | -10,716,167 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,716,167.
Example:
1 x 10,716,167 = 10,716,167
and
-1 x -10,716,167 = 10,716,167
Notice both answers equal 10,716,167
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,716,167 and divide it by 2:
10,716,167 ÷ 2 = 5,358,083.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,358,083.5 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 | 10,716,167 | |
| -1 | -10,716,167 |
Now, we try dividing 10,716,167 by 3:
10,716,167 ÷ 3 = 3,572,055.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,572,055.6667 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 | 10,716,167 | |
| -1 | -10,716,167 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,716,167 ÷ 4 = 2,679,041.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,679,041.75 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 | 10,716,167 | |
| -1 | 10,716,167 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 29 | 77 | 203 | 319 | 2,233 | 4,799 | 33,593 | 52,789 | 139,171 | 369,523 | 974,197 | 1,530,881 | 10,716,167 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -29 | -77 | -203 | -319 | -2,233 | -4,799 | -33,593 | -52,789 | -139,171 | -369,523 | -974,197 | -1,530,881 | -10,716,167 |
