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 10,736,515, 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 | 10,736,515 | |
| -1 | -10,736,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,736,515.
Example:
1 x 10,736,515 = 10,736,515
and
-1 x -10,736,515 = 10,736,515
Notice both answers equal 10,736,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,736,515 and divide it by 2:
10,736,515 ÷ 2 = 5,368,257.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,368,257.5 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 | 10,736,515 | |
| -1 | -10,736,515 |
Now, we try dividing 10,736,515 by 3:
10,736,515 ÷ 3 = 3,578,838.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,578,838.3333 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 | 10,736,515 | |
| -1 | -10,736,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,736,515 ÷ 4 = 2,684,128.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,684,128.75 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 | 10,736,515 | |
| -1 | 10,736,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 89 | 115 | 445 | 1,049 | 2,047 | 5,245 | 10,235 | 24,127 | 93,361 | 120,635 | 466,805 | 2,147,303 | 10,736,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -89 | -115 | -445 | -1,049 | -2,047 | -5,245 | -10,235 | -24,127 | -93,361 | -120,635 | -466,805 | -2,147,303 | -10,736,515 |
