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 11,030,285, 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 | 11,030,285 | |
| -1 | -11,030,285 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,030,285.
Example:
1 x 11,030,285 = 11,030,285
and
-1 x -11,030,285 = 11,030,285
Notice both answers equal 11,030,285
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,030,285 and divide it by 2:
11,030,285 ÷ 2 = 5,515,142.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,515,142.5 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 | 11,030,285 | |
| -1 | -11,030,285 |
Now, we try dividing 11,030,285 by 3:
11,030,285 ÷ 3 = 3,676,761.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,676,761.6667 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 | 11,030,285 | |
| -1 | -11,030,285 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,030,285 ÷ 4 = 2,757,571.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,757,571.25 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 | 11,030,285 | |
| -1 | 11,030,285 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 83 | 415 | 581 | 2,905 | 3,797 | 18,985 | 26,579 | 132,895 | 315,151 | 1,575,755 | 2,206,057 | 11,030,285 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -83 | -415 | -581 | -2,905 | -3,797 | -18,985 | -26,579 | -132,895 | -315,151 | -1,575,755 | -2,206,057 | -11,030,285 |
