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 11,941,195, 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 | 11,941,195 | |
| -1 | -11,941,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 11,941,195.
Example:
1 x 11,941,195 = 11,941,195
and
-1 x -11,941,195 = 11,941,195
Notice both answers equal 11,941,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 11,941,195 and divide it by 2:
11,941,195 ÷ 2 = 5,970,597.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,970,597.5 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 | 11,941,195 | |
| -1 | -11,941,195 |
Now, we try dividing 11,941,195 by 3:
11,941,195 ÷ 3 = 3,980,398.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,980,398.3333 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 | 11,941,195 | |
| -1 | -11,941,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
11,941,195 ÷ 4 = 2,985,298.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,985,298.75 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 | 11,941,195 | |
| -1 | 11,941,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 9,221 | 46,105 | 64,547 | 322,735 | 341,177 | 1,705,885 | 2,388,239 | 11,941,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -9,221 | -46,105 | -64,547 | -322,735 | -341,177 | -1,705,885 | -2,388,239 | -11,941,195 |
