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 11,452,459, 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 | 11,452,459 | |
| -1 | -11,452,459 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,452,459.
Example:
1 x 11,452,459 = 11,452,459
and
-1 x -11,452,459 = 11,452,459
Notice both answers equal 11,452,459
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,452,459 and divide it by 2:
11,452,459 ÷ 2 = 5,726,229.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,726,229.5 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 | 11,452,459 | |
| -1 | -11,452,459 |
Now, we try dividing 11,452,459 by 3:
11,452,459 ÷ 3 = 3,817,486.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,817,486.3333 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 | 11,452,459 | |
| -1 | -11,452,459 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,452,459 ÷ 4 = 2,863,114.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,863,114.75 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 | 11,452,459 | |
| -1 | 11,452,459 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 73 | 359 | 437 | 1,387 | 1,679 | 6,821 | 8,257 | 26,207 | 31,901 | 156,883 | 497,933 | 602,761 | 11,452,459 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -73 | -359 | -437 | -1,387 | -1,679 | -6,821 | -8,257 | -26,207 | -31,901 | -156,883 | -497,933 | -602,761 | -11,452,459 |
