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 11,614,115, 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 | 11,614,115 | |
| -1 | -11,614,115 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,614,115.
Example:
1 x 11,614,115 = 11,614,115
and
-1 x -11,614,115 = 11,614,115
Notice both answers equal 11,614,115
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,614,115 and divide it by 2:
11,614,115 ÷ 2 = 5,807,057.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,807,057.5 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 | 11,614,115 | |
| -1 | -11,614,115 |
Now, we try dividing 11,614,115 by 3:
11,614,115 ÷ 3 = 3,871,371.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,871,371.6667 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 | 11,614,115 | |
| -1 | -11,614,115 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,614,115 ÷ 4 = 2,903,528.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,903,528.75 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 | 11,614,115 | |
| -1 | 11,614,115 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 67 | 185 | 335 | 937 | 2,479 | 4,685 | 12,395 | 34,669 | 62,779 | 173,345 | 313,895 | 2,322,823 | 11,614,115 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -67 | -185 | -335 | -937 | -2,479 | -4,685 | -12,395 | -34,669 | -62,779 | -173,345 | -313,895 | -2,322,823 | -11,614,115 |
