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 11,406,323, 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 | 11,406,323 | |
| -1 | -11,406,323 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,406,323.
Example:
1 x 11,406,323 = 11,406,323
and
-1 x -11,406,323 = 11,406,323
Notice both answers equal 11,406,323
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,406,323 and divide it by 2:
11,406,323 ÷ 2 = 5,703,161.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,703,161.5 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 | 11,406,323 | |
| -1 | -11,406,323 |
Now, we try dividing 11,406,323 by 3:
11,406,323 ÷ 3 = 3,802,107.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,802,107.6667 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 | 11,406,323 | |
| -1 | -11,406,323 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,406,323 ÷ 4 = 2,851,580.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,851,580.75 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 | 11,406,323 | |
| -1 | 11,406,323 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 41 | 73 | 103 | 1,517 | 2,701 | 2,993 | 3,811 | 4,223 | 7,519 | 110,741 | 156,251 | 278,203 | 308,279 | 11,406,323 |
| -1 | -37 | -41 | -73 | -103 | -1,517 | -2,701 | -2,993 | -3,811 | -4,223 | -7,519 | -110,741 | -156,251 | -278,203 | -308,279 | -11,406,323 |
