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 11,504,339, 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 | 11,504,339 | |
| -1 | -11,504,339 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,504,339.
Example:
1 x 11,504,339 = 11,504,339
and
-1 x -11,504,339 = 11,504,339
Notice both answers equal 11,504,339
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,504,339 and divide it by 2:
11,504,339 ÷ 2 = 5,752,169.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,752,169.5 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 | 11,504,339 | |
| -1 | -11,504,339 |
Now, we try dividing 11,504,339 by 3:
11,504,339 ÷ 3 = 3,834,779.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,834,779.6667 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 | 11,504,339 | |
| -1 | -11,504,339 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,504,339 ÷ 4 = 2,876,084.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,876,084.75 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 | 11,504,339 | |
| -1 | 11,504,339 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 53 | 77 | 371 | 583 | 2,819 | 4,081 | 19,733 | 31,009 | 149,407 | 217,063 | 1,045,849 | 1,643,477 | 11,504,339 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -53 | -77 | -371 | -583 | -2,819 | -4,081 | -19,733 | -31,009 | -149,407 | -217,063 | -1,045,849 | -1,643,477 | -11,504,339 |
