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 10,964,881, 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 | 10,964,881 | |
| -1 | -10,964,881 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,964,881.
Example:
1 x 10,964,881 = 10,964,881
and
-1 x -10,964,881 = 10,964,881
Notice both answers equal 10,964,881
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,964,881 and divide it by 2:
10,964,881 ÷ 2 = 5,482,440.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,482,440.5 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 | 10,964,881 | |
| -1 | -10,964,881 |
Now, we try dividing 10,964,881 by 3:
10,964,881 ÷ 3 = 3,654,960.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,654,960.3333 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 | 10,964,881 | |
| -1 | -10,964,881 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,964,881 ÷ 4 = 2,741,220.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,741,220.25 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 | 10,964,881 | |
| -1 | 10,964,881 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 83 | 323 | 409 | 1,411 | 1,577 | 6,953 | 7,771 | 26,809 | 33,947 | 132,107 | 577,099 | 644,993 | 10,964,881 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -83 | -323 | -409 | -1,411 | -1,577 | -6,953 | -7,771 | -26,809 | -33,947 | -132,107 | -577,099 | -644,993 | -10,964,881 |
