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 11,733,403, 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 | 11,733,403 | |
| -1 | -11,733,403 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,733,403.
Example:
1 x 11,733,403 = 11,733,403
and
-1 x -11,733,403 = 11,733,403
Notice both answers equal 11,733,403
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,733,403 and divide it by 2:
11,733,403 ÷ 2 = 5,866,701.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,866,701.5 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 | 11,733,403 | |
| -1 | -11,733,403 |
Now, we try dividing 11,733,403 by 3:
11,733,403 ÷ 3 = 3,911,134.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,911,134.3333 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 | 11,733,403 | |
| -1 | -11,733,403 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,733,403 ÷ 4 = 2,933,350.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,933,350.75 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 | 11,733,403 | |
| -1 | 11,733,403 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 37 | 127 | 227 | 407 | 1,397 | 2,497 | 4,699 | 8,399 | 28,829 | 51,689 | 92,389 | 317,119 | 1,066,673 | 11,733,403 |
| -1 | -11 | -37 | -127 | -227 | -407 | -1,397 | -2,497 | -4,699 | -8,399 | -28,829 | -51,689 | -92,389 | -317,119 | -1,066,673 | -11,733,403 |
