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 11,417,545, 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 | 11,417,545 | |
| -1 | -11,417,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,417,545.
Example:
1 x 11,417,545 = 11,417,545
and
-1 x -11,417,545 = 11,417,545
Notice both answers equal 11,417,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,417,545 and divide it by 2:
11,417,545 ÷ 2 = 5,708,772.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,708,772.5 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 | 11,417,545 | |
| -1 | -11,417,545 |
Now, we try dividing 11,417,545 by 3:
11,417,545 ÷ 3 = 3,805,848.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,805,848.3333 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 | 11,417,545 | |
| -1 | -11,417,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,417,545 ÷ 4 = 2,854,386.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,854,386.25 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 | 11,417,545 | |
| -1 | 11,417,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 101 | 115 | 505 | 983 | 2,323 | 4,915 | 11,615 | 22,609 | 99,283 | 113,045 | 496,415 | 2,283,509 | 11,417,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -101 | -115 | -505 | -983 | -2,323 | -4,915 | -11,615 | -22,609 | -99,283 | -113,045 | -496,415 | -2,283,509 | -11,417,545 |
