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 11,875,255, 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 | 11,875,255 | |
| -1 | -11,875,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,875,255.
Example:
1 x 11,875,255 = 11,875,255
and
-1 x -11,875,255 = 11,875,255
Notice both answers equal 11,875,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,875,255 and divide it by 2:
11,875,255 ÷ 2 = 5,937,627.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,937,627.5 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 | 11,875,255 | |
| -1 | -11,875,255 |
Now, we try dividing 11,875,255 by 3:
11,875,255 ÷ 3 = 3,958,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,958,418.3333 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 | 11,875,255 | |
| -1 | -11,875,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,875,255 ÷ 4 = 2,968,813.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,968,813.75 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 | 11,875,255 | |
| -1 | 11,875,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 47 | 235 | 329 | 1,645 | 7,219 | 36,095 | 50,533 | 252,665 | 339,293 | 1,696,465 | 2,375,051 | 11,875,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -47 | -235 | -329 | -1,645 | -7,219 | -36,095 | -50,533 | -252,665 | -339,293 | -1,696,465 | -2,375,051 | -11,875,255 |
