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 11,713,669, 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 | 11,713,669 | |
| -1 | -11,713,669 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,713,669.
Example:
1 x 11,713,669 = 11,713,669
and
-1 x -11,713,669 = 11,713,669
Notice both answers equal 11,713,669
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,713,669 and divide it by 2:
11,713,669 ÷ 2 = 5,856,834.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,856,834.5 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 | 11,713,669 | |
| -1 | -11,713,669 |
Now, we try dividing 11,713,669 by 3:
11,713,669 ÷ 3 = 3,904,556.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,904,556.3333 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 | 11,713,669 | |
| -1 | -11,713,669 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,713,669 ÷ 4 = 2,928,417.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,928,417.25 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 | 11,713,669 | |
| -1 | 11,713,669 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 47 | 139 | 163 | 517 | 1,529 | 1,793 | 6,533 | 7,661 | 22,657 | 71,863 | 84,271 | 249,227 | 1,064,879 | 11,713,669 |
| -1 | -11 | -47 | -139 | -163 | -517 | -1,529 | -1,793 | -6,533 | -7,661 | -22,657 | -71,863 | -84,271 | -249,227 | -1,064,879 | -11,713,669 |
