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 11,353,223, 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 | 11,353,223 | |
| -1 | -11,353,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,353,223.
Example:
1 x 11,353,223 = 11,353,223
and
-1 x -11,353,223 = 11,353,223
Notice both answers equal 11,353,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,353,223 and divide it by 2:
11,353,223 ÷ 2 = 5,676,611.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,676,611.5 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 | 11,353,223 | |
| -1 | -11,353,223 |
Now, we try dividing 11,353,223 by 3:
11,353,223 ÷ 3 = 3,784,407.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,784,407.6667 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 | 11,353,223 | |
| -1 | -11,353,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,353,223 ÷ 4 = 2,838,305.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,838,305.75 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 | 11,353,223 | |
| -1 | 11,353,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 113 | 217 | 463 | 791 | 3,241 | 3,503 | 14,353 | 24,521 | 52,319 | 100,471 | 366,233 | 1,621,889 | 11,353,223 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -113 | -217 | -463 | -791 | -3,241 | -3,503 | -14,353 | -24,521 | -52,319 | -100,471 | -366,233 | -1,621,889 | -11,353,223 |
