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 11,422,565, 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 | 11,422,565 | |
| -1 | -11,422,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,422,565.
Example:
1 x 11,422,565 = 11,422,565
and
-1 x -11,422,565 = 11,422,565
Notice both answers equal 11,422,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,422,565 and divide it by 2:
11,422,565 ÷ 2 = 5,711,282.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,711,282.5 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 | 11,422,565 | |
| -1 | -11,422,565 |
Now, we try dividing 11,422,565 by 3:
11,422,565 ÷ 3 = 3,807,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,807,521.6667 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 | 11,422,565 | |
| -1 | -11,422,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,422,565 ÷ 4 = 2,855,641.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,855,641.25 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 | 11,422,565 | |
| -1 | 11,422,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 29,669 | 148,345 | 207,683 | 326,359 | 1,038,415 | 1,631,795 | 2,284,513 | 11,422,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -29,669 | -148,345 | -207,683 | -326,359 | -1,038,415 | -1,631,795 | -2,284,513 | -11,422,565 |
