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 11,642,255, 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 | 11,642,255 | |
| -1 | -11,642,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,642,255.
Example:
1 x 11,642,255 = 11,642,255
and
-1 x -11,642,255 = 11,642,255
Notice both answers equal 11,642,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,642,255 and divide it by 2:
11,642,255 ÷ 2 = 5,821,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,821,127.5 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 | 11,642,255 | |
| -1 | -11,642,255 |
Now, we try dividing 11,642,255 by 3:
11,642,255 ÷ 3 = 3,880,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,880,751.6667 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 | 11,642,255 | |
| -1 | -11,642,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,642,255 ÷ 4 = 2,910,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,910,563.75 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 | 11,642,255 | |
| -1 | 11,642,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 67 | 115 | 335 | 1,511 | 1,541 | 7,555 | 7,705 | 34,753 | 101,237 | 173,765 | 506,185 | 2,328,451 | 11,642,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -67 | -115 | -335 | -1,511 | -1,541 | -7,555 | -7,705 | -34,753 | -101,237 | -173,765 | -506,185 | -2,328,451 | -11,642,255 |
