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 11,537,053, 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 | 11,537,053 | |
| -1 | -11,537,053 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,537,053.
Example:
1 x 11,537,053 = 11,537,053
and
-1 x -11,537,053 = 11,537,053
Notice both answers equal 11,537,053
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,537,053 and divide it by 2:
11,537,053 ÷ 2 = 5,768,526.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,768,526.5 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 | 11,537,053 | |
| -1 | -11,537,053 |
Now, we try dividing 11,537,053 by 3:
11,537,053 ÷ 3 = 3,845,684.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,845,684.3333 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 | 11,537,053 | |
| -1 | -11,537,053 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,537,053 ÷ 4 = 2,884,263.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,884,263.25 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 | 11,537,053 | |
| -1 | 11,537,053 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 31 | 253 | 341 | 713 | 1,471 | 7,843 | 16,181 | 33,833 | 45,601 | 372,163 | 501,611 | 1,048,823 | 11,537,053 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -31 | -253 | -341 | -713 | -1,471 | -7,843 | -16,181 | -33,833 | -45,601 | -372,163 | -501,611 | -1,048,823 | -11,537,053 |
