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 11,803,967, 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 | 11,803,967 | |
| -1 | -11,803,967 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,803,967.
Example:
1 x 11,803,967 = 11,803,967
and
-1 x -11,803,967 = 11,803,967
Notice both answers equal 11,803,967
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,803,967 and divide it by 2:
11,803,967 ÷ 2 = 5,901,983.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,901,983.5 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 | 11,803,967 | |
| -1 | -11,803,967 |
Now, we try dividing 11,803,967 by 3:
11,803,967 ÷ 3 = 3,934,655.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,934,655.6667 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 | 11,803,967 | |
| -1 | -11,803,967 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,803,967 ÷ 4 = 2,950,991.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,950,991.75 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 | 11,803,967 | |
| -1 | 11,803,967 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 281 | 353 | 1,967 | 2,471 | 4,777 | 6,001 | 33,439 | 42,007 | 99,193 | 694,351 | 1,686,281 | 11,803,967 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -281 | -353 | -1,967 | -2,471 | -4,777 | -6,001 | -33,439 | -42,007 | -99,193 | -694,351 | -1,686,281 | -11,803,967 |
