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 11,124,505, 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 | 11,124,505 | |
| -1 | -11,124,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,124,505.
Example:
1 x 11,124,505 = 11,124,505
and
-1 x -11,124,505 = 11,124,505
Notice both answers equal 11,124,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,124,505 and divide it by 2:
11,124,505 ÷ 2 = 5,562,252.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,562,252.5 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 | 11,124,505 | |
| -1 | -11,124,505 |
Now, we try dividing 11,124,505 by 3:
11,124,505 ÷ 3 = 3,708,168.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,708,168.3333 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 | 11,124,505 | |
| -1 | -11,124,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,124,505 ÷ 4 = 2,781,126.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,781,126.25 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 | 11,124,505 | |
| -1 | 11,124,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 10,253 | 51,265 | 71,771 | 317,843 | 358,855 | 1,589,215 | 2,224,901 | 11,124,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -10,253 | -51,265 | -71,771 | -317,843 | -358,855 | -1,589,215 | -2,224,901 | -11,124,505 |
