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 11,125,555, 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 | 11,125,555 | |
| -1 | -11,125,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,125,555.
Example:
1 x 11,125,555 = 11,125,555
and
-1 x -11,125,555 = 11,125,555
Notice both answers equal 11,125,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,125,555 and divide it by 2:
11,125,555 ÷ 2 = 5,562,777.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,562,777.5 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 | 11,125,555 | |
| -1 | -11,125,555 |
Now, we try dividing 11,125,555 by 3:
11,125,555 ÷ 3 = 3,708,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,708,518.3333 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 | 11,125,555 | |
| -1 | -11,125,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,125,555 ÷ 4 = 2,781,388.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,781,388.75 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 | 11,125,555 | |
| -1 | 11,125,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 41 | 205 | 287 | 1,435 | 7,753 | 38,765 | 54,271 | 271,355 | 317,873 | 1,589,365 | 2,225,111 | 11,125,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -41 | -205 | -287 | -1,435 | -7,753 | -38,765 | -54,271 | -271,355 | -317,873 | -1,589,365 | -2,225,111 | -11,125,555 |
