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 11,632,505, 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 | 11,632,505 | |
| -1 | -11,632,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,632,505.
Example:
1 x 11,632,505 = 11,632,505
and
-1 x -11,632,505 = 11,632,505
Notice both answers equal 11,632,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,632,505 and divide it by 2:
11,632,505 ÷ 2 = 5,816,252.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,816,252.5 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 | 11,632,505 | |
| -1 | -11,632,505 |
Now, we try dividing 11,632,505 by 3:
11,632,505 ÷ 3 = 3,877,501.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,877,501.6667 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 | 11,632,505 | |
| -1 | -11,632,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,632,505 ÷ 4 = 2,908,126.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,908,126.25 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 | 11,632,505 | |
| -1 | 11,632,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 107 | 535 | 1,279 | 1,819 | 6,395 | 9,095 | 21,743 | 108,715 | 136,853 | 684,265 | 2,326,501 | 11,632,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -107 | -535 | -1,279 | -1,819 | -6,395 | -9,095 | -21,743 | -108,715 | -136,853 | -684,265 | -2,326,501 | -11,632,505 |
