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 10,892,563, 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 | 10,892,563 | |
| -1 | -10,892,563 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,892,563.
Example:
1 x 10,892,563 = 10,892,563
and
-1 x -10,892,563 = 10,892,563
Notice both answers equal 10,892,563
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,892,563 and divide it by 2:
10,892,563 ÷ 2 = 5,446,281.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,446,281.5 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 | 10,892,563 | |
| -1 | -10,892,563 |
Now, we try dividing 10,892,563 by 3:
10,892,563 ÷ 3 = 3,630,854.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,630,854.3333 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 | 10,892,563 | |
| -1 | -10,892,563 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,892,563 ÷ 4 = 2,723,140.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,723,140.75 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 | 10,892,563 | |
| -1 | 10,892,563 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 31 | 187 | 341 | 527 | 1,879 | 5,797 | 20,669 | 31,943 | 58,249 | 351,373 | 640,739 | 990,233 | 10,892,563 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -31 | -187 | -341 | -527 | -1,879 | -5,797 | -20,669 | -31,943 | -58,249 | -351,373 | -640,739 | -990,233 | -10,892,563 |
