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 12,084,709, 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 | 12,084,709 | |
| -1 | -12,084,709 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,084,709.
Example:
1 x 12,084,709 = 12,084,709
and
-1 x -12,084,709 = 12,084,709
Notice both answers equal 12,084,709
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,084,709 and divide it by 2:
12,084,709 ÷ 2 = 6,042,354.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,042,354.5 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 | 12,084,709 | |
| -1 | -12,084,709 |
Now, we try dividing 12,084,709 by 3:
12,084,709 ÷ 3 = 4,028,236.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,028,236.3333 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 | 12,084,709 | |
| -1 | -12,084,709 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,084,709 ÷ 4 = 3,021,177.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,021,177.25 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 | 12,084,709 | |
| -1 | 12,084,709 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 79 | 91 | 287 | 533 | 553 | 1,027 | 1,681 | 3,239 | 3,731 | 7,189 | 11,767 | 21,853 | 22,673 | 42,107 | 132,799 | 152,971 | 294,749 | 929,593 | 1,726,387 | 12,084,709 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -79 | -91 | -287 | -533 | -553 | -1,027 | -1,681 | -3,239 | -3,731 | -7,189 | -11,767 | -21,853 | -22,673 | -42,107 | -132,799 | -152,971 | -294,749 | -929,593 | -1,726,387 | -12,084,709 |
