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 15,253,105, 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 | 15,253,105 | |
| -1 | -15,253,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 15,253,105.
Example:
1 x 15,253,105 = 15,253,105
and
-1 x -15,253,105 = 15,253,105
Notice both answers equal 15,253,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,253,105 and divide it by 2:
15,253,105 ÷ 2 = 7,626,552.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,626,552.5 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 | 15,253,105 | |
| -1 | -15,253,105 |
Now, we try dividing 15,253,105 by 3:
15,253,105 ÷ 3 = 5,084,368.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,084,368.3333 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 | 15,253,105 | |
| -1 | -15,253,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
15,253,105 ÷ 4 = 3,813,276.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,813,276.25 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 | 15,253,105 | |
| -1 | 15,253,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 22,937 | 114,685 | 160,559 | 435,803 | 802,795 | 2,179,015 | 3,050,621 | 15,253,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -22,937 | -114,685 | -160,559 | -435,803 | -802,795 | -2,179,015 | -3,050,621 | -15,253,105 |
