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 12,242,335, 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 | 12,242,335 | |
| -1 | -12,242,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,242,335.
Example:
1 x 12,242,335 = 12,242,335
and
-1 x -12,242,335 = 12,242,335
Notice both answers equal 12,242,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,242,335 and divide it by 2:
12,242,335 ÷ 2 = 6,121,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,121,167.5 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 | 12,242,335 | |
| -1 | -12,242,335 |
Now, we try dividing 12,242,335 by 3:
12,242,335 ÷ 3 = 4,080,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,080,778.3333 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 | 12,242,335 | |
| -1 | -12,242,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,242,335 ÷ 4 = 3,060,583.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,060,583.75 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 | 12,242,335 | |
| -1 | 12,242,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 109 | 545 | 763 | 3,209 | 3,815 | 16,045 | 22,463 | 112,315 | 349,781 | 1,748,905 | 2,448,467 | 12,242,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -109 | -545 | -763 | -3,209 | -3,815 | -16,045 | -22,463 | -112,315 | -349,781 | -1,748,905 | -2,448,467 | -12,242,335 |
