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 12,071,935, 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 | 12,071,935 | |
| -1 | -12,071,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,071,935.
Example:
1 x 12,071,935 = 12,071,935
and
-1 x -12,071,935 = 12,071,935
Notice both answers equal 12,071,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,071,935 and divide it by 2:
12,071,935 ÷ 2 = 6,035,967.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,035,967.5 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 | 12,071,935 | |
| -1 | -12,071,935 |
Now, we try dividing 12,071,935 by 3:
12,071,935 ÷ 3 = 4,023,978.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,023,978.3333 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 | 12,071,935 | |
| -1 | -12,071,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,071,935 ÷ 4 = 3,017,983.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,017,983.75 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 | 12,071,935 | |
| -1 | 12,071,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 83 | 95 | 415 | 1,531 | 1,577 | 7,655 | 7,885 | 29,089 | 127,073 | 145,445 | 635,365 | 2,414,387 | 12,071,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -83 | -95 | -415 | -1,531 | -1,577 | -7,655 | -7,885 | -29,089 | -127,073 | -145,445 | -635,365 | -2,414,387 | -12,071,935 |
