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 10,953,593, 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 | 10,953,593 | |
| -1 | -10,953,593 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,953,593.
Example:
1 x 10,953,593 = 10,953,593
and
-1 x -10,953,593 = 10,953,593
Notice both answers equal 10,953,593
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,953,593 and divide it by 2:
10,953,593 ÷ 2 = 5,476,796.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,476,796.5 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 | 10,953,593 | |
| -1 | -10,953,593 |
Now, we try dividing 10,953,593 by 3:
10,953,593 ÷ 3 = 3,651,197.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,651,197.6667 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 | 10,953,593 | |
| -1 | -10,953,593 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,953,593 ÷ 4 = 2,738,398.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,738,398.25 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 | 10,953,593 | |
| -1 | 10,953,593 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 83 | 119 | 581 | 1,109 | 1,411 | 7,763 | 9,877 | 18,853 | 92,047 | 131,971 | 644,329 | 1,564,799 | 10,953,593 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -83 | -119 | -581 | -1,109 | -1,411 | -7,763 | -9,877 | -18,853 | -92,047 | -131,971 | -644,329 | -1,564,799 | -10,953,593 |
