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 10,974,535, 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 | 10,974,535 | |
| -1 | -10,974,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,974,535.
Example:
1 x 10,974,535 = 10,974,535
and
-1 x -10,974,535 = 10,974,535
Notice both answers equal 10,974,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,974,535 and divide it by 2:
10,974,535 ÷ 2 = 5,487,267.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,487,267.5 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 | 10,974,535 | |
| -1 | -10,974,535 |
Now, we try dividing 10,974,535 by 3:
10,974,535 ÷ 3 = 3,658,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,658,178.3333 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 | 10,974,535 | |
| -1 | -10,974,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,974,535 ÷ 4 = 2,743,633.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,743,633.75 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 | 10,974,535 | |
| -1 | 10,974,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 15,349 | 76,745 | 168,839 | 199,537 | 844,195 | 997,685 | 2,194,907 | 10,974,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -15,349 | -76,745 | -168,839 | -199,537 | -844,195 | -997,685 | -2,194,907 | -10,974,535 |
