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 11,304,031, 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 | 11,304,031 | |
| -1 | -11,304,031 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,304,031.
Example:
1 x 11,304,031 = 11,304,031
and
-1 x -11,304,031 = 11,304,031
Notice both answers equal 11,304,031
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,304,031 and divide it by 2:
11,304,031 ÷ 2 = 5,652,015.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,652,015.5 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 | 11,304,031 | |
| -1 | -11,304,031 |
Now, we try dividing 11,304,031 by 3:
11,304,031 ÷ 3 = 3,768,010.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,768,010.3333 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 | 11,304,031 | |
| -1 | -11,304,031 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,304,031 ÷ 4 = 2,826,007.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,826,007.75 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 | 11,304,031 | |
| -1 | 11,304,031 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 79 | 323 | 443 | 1,343 | 1,501 | 7,531 | 8,417 | 25,517 | 34,997 | 143,089 | 594,949 | 664,943 | 11,304,031 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -79 | -323 | -443 | -1,343 | -1,501 | -7,531 | -8,417 | -25,517 | -34,997 | -143,089 | -594,949 | -664,943 | -11,304,031 |
