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 11,435,585, 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 | 11,435,585 | |
| -1 | -11,435,585 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,435,585.
Example:
1 x 11,435,585 = 11,435,585
and
-1 x -11,435,585 = 11,435,585
Notice both answers equal 11,435,585
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,435,585 and divide it by 2:
11,435,585 ÷ 2 = 5,717,792.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,717,792.5 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 | 11,435,585 | |
| -1 | -11,435,585 |
Now, we try dividing 11,435,585 by 3:
11,435,585 ÷ 3 = 3,811,861.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,811,861.6667 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 | 11,435,585 | |
| -1 | -11,435,585 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,435,585 ÷ 4 = 2,858,896.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,858,896.25 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 | 11,435,585 | |
| -1 | 11,435,585 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 397 | 823 | 1,985 | 2,779 | 4,115 | 5,761 | 13,895 | 28,805 | 326,731 | 1,633,655 | 2,287,117 | 11,435,585 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -397 | -823 | -1,985 | -2,779 | -4,115 | -5,761 | -13,895 | -28,805 | -326,731 | -1,633,655 | -2,287,117 | -11,435,585 |
