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 11,802,835, 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 | 11,802,835 | |
| -1 | -11,802,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,802,835.
Example:
1 x 11,802,835 = 11,802,835
and
-1 x -11,802,835 = 11,802,835
Notice both answers equal 11,802,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,802,835 and divide it by 2:
11,802,835 ÷ 2 = 5,901,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,901,417.5 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 | 11,802,835 | |
| -1 | -11,802,835 |
Now, we try dividing 11,802,835 by 3:
11,802,835 ÷ 3 = 3,934,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,934,278.3333 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 | 11,802,835 | |
| -1 | -11,802,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,802,835 ÷ 4 = 2,950,708.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,950,708.75 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 | 11,802,835 | |
| -1 | 11,802,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 53 | 55 | 265 | 583 | 2,915 | 4,049 | 20,245 | 44,539 | 214,597 | 222,695 | 1,072,985 | 2,360,567 | 11,802,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -53 | -55 | -265 | -583 | -2,915 | -4,049 | -20,245 | -44,539 | -214,597 | -222,695 | -1,072,985 | -2,360,567 | -11,802,835 |
