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 10,762,915, 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 | 10,762,915 | |
| -1 | -10,762,915 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,762,915.
Example:
1 x 10,762,915 = 10,762,915
and
-1 x -10,762,915 = 10,762,915
Notice both answers equal 10,762,915
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,762,915 and divide it by 2:
10,762,915 ÷ 2 = 5,381,457.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,381,457.5 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 | 10,762,915 | |
| -1 | -10,762,915 |
Now, we try dividing 10,762,915 by 3:
10,762,915 ÷ 3 = 3,587,638.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,587,638.3333 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 | 10,762,915 | |
| -1 | -10,762,915 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,762,915 ÷ 4 = 2,690,728.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,690,728.75 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 | 10,762,915 | |
| -1 | 10,762,915 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 199 | 373 | 995 | 1,865 | 5,771 | 10,817 | 28,855 | 54,085 | 74,227 | 371,135 | 2,152,583 | 10,762,915 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -199 | -373 | -995 | -1,865 | -5,771 | -10,817 | -28,855 | -54,085 | -74,227 | -371,135 | -2,152,583 | -10,762,915 |
