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 11,341,771, 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 | 11,341,771 | |
| -1 | -11,341,771 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,341,771.
Example:
1 x 11,341,771 = 11,341,771
and
-1 x -11,341,771 = 11,341,771
Notice both answers equal 11,341,771
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,341,771 and divide it by 2:
11,341,771 ÷ 2 = 5,670,885.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,670,885.5 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 | 11,341,771 | |
| -1 | -11,341,771 |
Now, we try dividing 11,341,771 by 3:
11,341,771 ÷ 3 = 3,780,590.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,780,590.3333 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 | 11,341,771 | |
| -1 | -11,341,771 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,341,771 ÷ 4 = 2,835,442.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,835,442.75 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 | 11,341,771 | |
| -1 | 11,341,771 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 191 | 499 | 1,337 | 3,247 | 3,493 | 8,483 | 22,729 | 59,381 | 95,309 | 667,163 | 1,620,253 | 11,341,771 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -191 | -499 | -1,337 | -3,247 | -3,493 | -8,483 | -22,729 | -59,381 | -95,309 | -667,163 | -1,620,253 | -11,341,771 |
