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 11,562,659, 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 | 11,562,659 | |
| -1 | -11,562,659 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,562,659.
Example:
1 x 11,562,659 = 11,562,659
and
-1 x -11,562,659 = 11,562,659
Notice both answers equal 11,562,659
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,562,659 and divide it by 2:
11,562,659 ÷ 2 = 5,781,329.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,781,329.5 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 | 11,562,659 | |
| -1 | -11,562,659 |
Now, we try dividing 11,562,659 by 3:
11,562,659 ÷ 3 = 3,854,219.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,854,219.6667 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 | 11,562,659 | |
| -1 | -11,562,659 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,562,659 ÷ 4 = 2,890,664.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,890,664.75 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 | 11,562,659 | |
| -1 | 11,562,659 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 67 | 293 | 589 | 1,273 | 2,077 | 5,567 | 9,083 | 19,631 | 39,463 | 172,577 | 372,989 | 608,561 | 11,562,659 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -67 | -293 | -589 | -1,273 | -2,077 | -5,567 | -9,083 | -19,631 | -39,463 | -172,577 | -372,989 | -608,561 | -11,562,659 |
