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 10,741,315, 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 | 10,741,315 | |
| -1 | -10,741,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,741,315.
Example:
1 x 10,741,315 = 10,741,315
and
-1 x -10,741,315 = 10,741,315
Notice both answers equal 10,741,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,741,315 and divide it by 2:
10,741,315 ÷ 2 = 5,370,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,370,657.5 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 | 10,741,315 | |
| -1 | -10,741,315 |
Now, we try dividing 10,741,315 by 3:
10,741,315 ÷ 3 = 3,580,438.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,580,438.3333 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 | 10,741,315 | |
| -1 | -10,741,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,741,315 ÷ 4 = 2,685,328.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,685,328.75 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 | 10,741,315 | |
| -1 | 10,741,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 257 | 643 | 1,285 | 3,215 | 3,341 | 8,359 | 16,705 | 41,795 | 165,251 | 826,255 | 2,148,263 | 10,741,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -257 | -643 | -1,285 | -3,215 | -3,341 | -8,359 | -16,705 | -41,795 | -165,251 | -826,255 | -2,148,263 | -10,741,315 |
