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 11,587,235, 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 | 11,587,235 | |
| -1 | -11,587,235 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,587,235.
Example:
1 x 11,587,235 = 11,587,235
and
-1 x -11,587,235 = 11,587,235
Notice both answers equal 11,587,235
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,587,235 and divide it by 2:
11,587,235 ÷ 2 = 5,793,617.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,793,617.5 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 | 11,587,235 | |
| -1 | -11,587,235 |
Now, we try dividing 11,587,235 by 3:
11,587,235 ÷ 3 = 3,862,411.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,862,411.6667 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 | 11,587,235 | |
| -1 | -11,587,235 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,587,235 ÷ 4 = 2,896,808.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,896,808.75 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 | 11,587,235 | |
| -1 | 11,587,235 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 457 | 461 | 2,285 | 2,305 | 5,027 | 5,071 | 25,135 | 25,355 | 210,677 | 1,053,385 | 2,317,447 | 11,587,235 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -457 | -461 | -2,285 | -2,305 | -5,027 | -5,071 | -25,135 | -25,355 | -210,677 | -1,053,385 | -2,317,447 | -11,587,235 |
