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 11,504,563, 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 | 11,504,563 | |
| -1 | -11,504,563 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,504,563.
Example:
1 x 11,504,563 = 11,504,563
and
-1 x -11,504,563 = 11,504,563
Notice both answers equal 11,504,563
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,504,563 and divide it by 2:
11,504,563 ÷ 2 = 5,752,281.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,752,281.5 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 | 11,504,563 | |
| -1 | -11,504,563 |
Now, we try dividing 11,504,563 by 3:
11,504,563 ÷ 3 = 3,834,854.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,834,854.3333 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 | 11,504,563 | |
| -1 | -11,504,563 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,504,563 ÷ 4 = 2,876,140.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,876,140.75 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 | 11,504,563 | |
| -1 | 11,504,563 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 49 | 119 | 343 | 833 | 1,973 | 5,831 | 13,811 | 33,541 | 96,677 | 234,787 | 676,739 | 1,643,509 | 11,504,563 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -49 | -119 | -343 | -833 | -1,973 | -5,831 | -13,811 | -33,541 | -96,677 | -234,787 | -676,739 | -1,643,509 | -11,504,563 |
