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 11,918,795, 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 | 11,918,795 | |
| -1 | -11,918,795 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,918,795.
Example:
1 x 11,918,795 = 11,918,795
and
-1 x -11,918,795 = 11,918,795
Notice both answers equal 11,918,795
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,918,795 and divide it by 2:
11,918,795 ÷ 2 = 5,959,397.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,959,397.5 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 | 11,918,795 | |
| -1 | -11,918,795 |
Now, we try dividing 11,918,795 by 3:
11,918,795 ÷ 3 = 3,972,931.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,972,931.6667 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 | 11,918,795 | |
| -1 | -11,918,795 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,918,795 ÷ 4 = 2,979,698.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,979,698.75 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 | 11,918,795 | |
| -1 | 11,918,795 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 17,923 | 89,615 | 125,461 | 340,537 | 627,305 | 1,702,685 | 2,383,759 | 11,918,795 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -17,923 | -89,615 | -125,461 | -340,537 | -627,305 | -1,702,685 | -2,383,759 | -11,918,795 |
