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 11,841,503, 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 | 11,841,503 | |
| -1 | -11,841,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,841,503.
Example:
1 x 11,841,503 = 11,841,503
and
-1 x -11,841,503 = 11,841,503
Notice both answers equal 11,841,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,841,503 and divide it by 2:
11,841,503 ÷ 2 = 5,920,751.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,920,751.5 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 | 11,841,503 | |
| -1 | -11,841,503 |
Now, we try dividing 11,841,503 by 3:
11,841,503 ÷ 3 = 3,947,167.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,947,167.6667 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 | 11,841,503 | |
| -1 | -11,841,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,841,503 ÷ 4 = 2,960,375.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,960,375.75 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 | 11,841,503 | |
| -1 | 11,841,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 61 | 323 | 601 | 1,037 | 1,159 | 10,217 | 11,419 | 19,703 | 36,661 | 194,123 | 623,237 | 696,559 | 11,841,503 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -61 | -323 | -601 | -1,037 | -1,159 | -10,217 | -11,419 | -19,703 | -36,661 | -194,123 | -623,237 | -696,559 | -11,841,503 |
