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 11,736,635, 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 | 11,736,635 | |
| -1 | -11,736,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,736,635.
Example:
1 x 11,736,635 = 11,736,635
and
-1 x -11,736,635 = 11,736,635
Notice both answers equal 11,736,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,736,635 and divide it by 2:
11,736,635 ÷ 2 = 5,868,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,868,317.5 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 | 11,736,635 | |
| -1 | -11,736,635 |
Now, we try dividing 11,736,635 by 3:
11,736,635 ÷ 3 = 3,912,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,912,211.6667 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 | 11,736,635 | |
| -1 | -11,736,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,736,635 ÷ 4 = 2,934,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,934,158.75 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 | 11,736,635 | |
| -1 | 11,736,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 79 | 215 | 395 | 691 | 3,397 | 3,455 | 16,985 | 29,713 | 54,589 | 148,565 | 272,945 | 2,347,327 | 11,736,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -79 | -215 | -395 | -691 | -3,397 | -3,455 | -16,985 | -29,713 | -54,589 | -148,565 | -272,945 | -2,347,327 | -11,736,635 |
