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 11,575,255, 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 | 11,575,255 | |
| -1 | -11,575,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,575,255.
Example:
1 x 11,575,255 = 11,575,255
and
-1 x -11,575,255 = 11,575,255
Notice both answers equal 11,575,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,575,255 and divide it by 2:
11,575,255 ÷ 2 = 5,787,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,787,627.5 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 | 11,575,255 | |
| -1 | -11,575,255 |
Now, we try dividing 11,575,255 by 3:
11,575,255 ÷ 3 = 3,858,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,858,418.3333 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 | 11,575,255 | |
| -1 | -11,575,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,575,255 ÷ 4 = 2,893,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,893,813.75 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 | 11,575,255 | |
| -1 | 11,575,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 67 | 109 | 317 | 335 | 545 | 1,585 | 7,303 | 21,239 | 34,553 | 36,515 | 106,195 | 172,765 | 2,315,051 | 11,575,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -67 | -109 | -317 | -335 | -545 | -1,585 | -7,303 | -21,239 | -34,553 | -36,515 | -106,195 | -172,765 | -2,315,051 | -11,575,255 |
