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 11,703,439, 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 | 11,703,439 | |
| -1 | -11,703,439 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,703,439.
Example:
1 x 11,703,439 = 11,703,439
and
-1 x -11,703,439 = 11,703,439
Notice both answers equal 11,703,439
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,703,439 and divide it by 2:
11,703,439 ÷ 2 = 5,851,719.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,851,719.5 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 | 11,703,439 | |
| -1 | -11,703,439 |
Now, we try dividing 11,703,439 by 3:
11,703,439 ÷ 3 = 3,901,146.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,901,146.3333 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 | 11,703,439 | |
| -1 | -11,703,439 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,703,439 ÷ 4 = 2,925,859.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,925,859.75 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 | 11,703,439 | |
| -1 | 11,703,439 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 43 | 109 | 227 | 473 | 1,199 | 2,497 | 4,687 | 9,761 | 24,743 | 51,557 | 107,371 | 272,173 | 1,063,949 | 11,703,439 |
| -1 | -11 | -43 | -109 | -227 | -473 | -1,199 | -2,497 | -4,687 | -9,761 | -24,743 | -51,557 | -107,371 | -272,173 | -1,063,949 | -11,703,439 |
