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 11,667,227, 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 | 11,667,227 | |
| -1 | -11,667,227 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,667,227.
Example:
1 x 11,667,227 = 11,667,227
and
-1 x -11,667,227 = 11,667,227
Notice both answers equal 11,667,227
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,667,227 and divide it by 2:
11,667,227 ÷ 2 = 5,833,613.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,833,613.5 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 | 11,667,227 | |
| -1 | -11,667,227 |
Now, we try dividing 11,667,227 by 3:
11,667,227 ÷ 3 = 3,889,075.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,889,075.6667 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 | 11,667,227 | |
| -1 | -11,667,227 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,667,227 ÷ 4 = 2,916,806.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,916,806.75 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 | 11,667,227 | |
| -1 | 11,667,227 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 83 | 143 | 913 | 983 | 1,079 | 10,813 | 11,869 | 12,779 | 81,589 | 140,569 | 897,479 | 1,060,657 | 11,667,227 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -83 | -143 | -913 | -983 | -1,079 | -10,813 | -11,869 | -12,779 | -81,589 | -140,569 | -897,479 | -1,060,657 | -11,667,227 |
