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 11,387,995, 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 | 11,387,995 | |
| -1 | -11,387,995 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,387,995.
Example:
1 x 11,387,995 = 11,387,995
and
-1 x -11,387,995 = 11,387,995
Notice both answers equal 11,387,995
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,387,995 and divide it by 2:
11,387,995 ÷ 2 = 5,693,997.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,693,997.5 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 | 11,387,995 | |
| -1 | -11,387,995 |
Now, we try dividing 11,387,995 by 3:
11,387,995 ÷ 3 = 3,795,998.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,795,998.3333 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 | 11,387,995 | |
| -1 | -11,387,995 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,387,995 ÷ 4 = 2,846,998.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,846,998.75 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 | 11,387,995 | |
| -1 | 11,387,995 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 89 | 157 | 163 | 445 | 785 | 815 | 13,973 | 14,507 | 25,591 | 69,865 | 72,535 | 127,955 | 2,277,599 | 11,387,995 |
| -1 | -5 | -89 | -157 | -163 | -445 | -785 | -815 | -13,973 | -14,507 | -25,591 | -69,865 | -72,535 | -127,955 | -2,277,599 | -11,387,995 |
