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 12,033,463, 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 | 12,033,463 | |
| -1 | -12,033,463 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,033,463.
Example:
1 x 12,033,463 = 12,033,463
and
-1 x -12,033,463 = 12,033,463
Notice both answers equal 12,033,463
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,033,463 and divide it by 2:
12,033,463 ÷ 2 = 6,016,731.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,016,731.5 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 | 12,033,463 | |
| -1 | -12,033,463 |
Now, we try dividing 12,033,463 by 3:
12,033,463 ÷ 3 = 4,011,154.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,011,154.3333 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 | 12,033,463 | |
| -1 | -12,033,463 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,033,463 ÷ 4 = 3,008,365.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,008,365.75 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 | 12,033,463 | |
| -1 | 12,033,463 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 59 | 377 | 541 | 767 | 1,711 | 7,033 | 15,689 | 22,243 | 31,919 | 203,957 | 414,947 | 925,651 | 12,033,463 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -59 | -377 | -541 | -767 | -1,711 | -7,033 | -15,689 | -22,243 | -31,919 | -203,957 | -414,947 | -925,651 | -12,033,463 |
