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 11,735,801, 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 | 11,735,801 | |
| -1 | -11,735,801 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,735,801.
Example:
1 x 11,735,801 = 11,735,801
and
-1 x -11,735,801 = 11,735,801
Notice both answers equal 11,735,801
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,735,801 and divide it by 2:
11,735,801 ÷ 2 = 5,867,900.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,867,900.5 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 | 11,735,801 | |
| -1 | -11,735,801 |
Now, we try dividing 11,735,801 by 3:
11,735,801 ÷ 3 = 3,911,933.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,911,933.6667 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 | 11,735,801 | |
| -1 | -11,735,801 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,735,801 ÷ 4 = 2,933,950.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,933,950.25 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 | 11,735,801 | |
| -1 | 11,735,801 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 173 | 881 | 1,211 | 1,903 | 6,167 | 9,691 | 13,321 | 67,837 | 152,413 | 1,066,891 | 1,676,543 | 11,735,801 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -173 | -881 | -1,211 | -1,903 | -6,167 | -9,691 | -13,321 | -67,837 | -152,413 | -1,066,891 | -1,676,543 | -11,735,801 |
