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 11,235,341, 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 | 11,235,341 | |
| -1 | -11,235,341 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,235,341.
Example:
1 x 11,235,341 = 11,235,341
and
-1 x -11,235,341 = 11,235,341
Notice both answers equal 11,235,341
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,235,341 and divide it by 2:
11,235,341 ÷ 2 = 5,617,670.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,617,670.5 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 | 11,235,341 | |
| -1 | -11,235,341 |
Now, we try dividing 11,235,341 by 3:
11,235,341 ÷ 3 = 3,745,113.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,745,113.6667 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 | 11,235,341 | |
| -1 | -11,235,341 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,235,341 ÷ 4 = 2,808,835.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,808,835.25 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 | 11,235,341 | |
| -1 | 11,235,341 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 43 | 101 | 199 | 559 | 1,313 | 2,587 | 4,343 | 8,557 | 20,099 | 56,459 | 111,241 | 261,287 | 864,257 | 11,235,341 |
| -1 | -13 | -43 | -101 | -199 | -559 | -1,313 | -2,587 | -4,343 | -8,557 | -20,099 | -56,459 | -111,241 | -261,287 | -864,257 | -11,235,341 |
