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 11,322,731, 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 | 11,322,731 | |
| -1 | -11,322,731 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,322,731.
Example:
1 x 11,322,731 = 11,322,731
and
-1 x -11,322,731 = 11,322,731
Notice both answers equal 11,322,731
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,322,731 and divide it by 2:
11,322,731 ÷ 2 = 5,661,365.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,661,365.5 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 | 11,322,731 | |
| -1 | -11,322,731 |
Now, we try dividing 11,322,731 by 3:
11,322,731 ÷ 3 = 3,774,243.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,774,243.6667 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 | 11,322,731 | |
| -1 | -11,322,731 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,322,731 ÷ 4 = 2,830,682.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,830,682.75 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 | 11,322,731 | |
| -1 | 11,322,731 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 29 | 119 | 193 | 203 | 289 | 493 | 1,351 | 2,023 | 3,281 | 3,451 | 5,597 | 8,381 | 22,967 | 39,179 | 55,777 | 58,667 | 95,149 | 390,439 | 666,043 | 1,617,533 | 11,322,731 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -29 | -119 | -193 | -203 | -289 | -493 | -1,351 | -2,023 | -3,281 | -3,451 | -5,597 | -8,381 | -22,967 | -39,179 | -55,777 | -58,667 | -95,149 | -390,439 | -666,043 | -1,617,533 | -11,322,731 |
