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 11,756,843, 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 | 11,756,843 | |
| -1 | -11,756,843 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,756,843.
Example:
1 x 11,756,843 = 11,756,843
and
-1 x -11,756,843 = 11,756,843
Notice both answers equal 11,756,843
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,756,843 and divide it by 2:
11,756,843 ÷ 2 = 5,878,421.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,878,421.5 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 | 11,756,843 | |
| -1 | -11,756,843 |
Now, we try dividing 11,756,843 by 3:
11,756,843 ÷ 3 = 3,918,947.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,918,947.6667 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 | 11,756,843 | |
| -1 | -11,756,843 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,756,843 ÷ 4 = 2,939,210.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,939,210.75 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 | 11,756,843 | |
| -1 | 11,756,843 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 31 | 119 | 217 | 527 | 3,187 | 3,689 | 22,309 | 54,179 | 98,797 | 379,253 | 691,579 | 1,679,549 | 11,756,843 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -31 | -119 | -217 | -527 | -3,187 | -3,689 | -22,309 | -54,179 | -98,797 | -379,253 | -691,579 | -1,679,549 | -11,756,843 |
