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 11,455,213, 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 | 11,455,213 | |
| -1 | -11,455,213 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,455,213.
Example:
1 x 11,455,213 = 11,455,213
and
-1 x -11,455,213 = 11,455,213
Notice both answers equal 11,455,213
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,455,213 and divide it by 2:
11,455,213 ÷ 2 = 5,727,606.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,727,606.5 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 | 11,455,213 | |
| -1 | -11,455,213 |
Now, we try dividing 11,455,213 by 3:
11,455,213 ÷ 3 = 3,818,404.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,818,404.3333 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 | 11,455,213 | |
| -1 | -11,455,213 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,455,213 ÷ 4 = 2,863,803.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,863,803.25 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 | 11,455,213 | |
| -1 | 11,455,213 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 31 | 77 | 217 | 341 | 2,387 | 4,799 | 33,593 | 52,789 | 148,769 | 369,523 | 1,041,383 | 1,636,459 | 11,455,213 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -31 | -77 | -217 | -341 | -2,387 | -4,799 | -33,593 | -52,789 | -148,769 | -369,523 | -1,041,383 | -1,636,459 | -11,455,213 |
