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 12,252,835, 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 | 12,252,835 | |
| -1 | -12,252,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,252,835.
Example:
1 x 12,252,835 = 12,252,835
and
-1 x -12,252,835 = 12,252,835
Notice both answers equal 12,252,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,252,835 and divide it by 2:
12,252,835 ÷ 2 = 6,126,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,126,417.5 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 | 12,252,835 | |
| -1 | -12,252,835 |
Now, we try dividing 12,252,835 by 3:
12,252,835 ÷ 3 = 4,084,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,084,278.3333 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 | 12,252,835 | |
| -1 | -12,252,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,252,835 ÷ 4 = 3,063,208.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,063,208.75 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 | 12,252,835 | |
| -1 | 12,252,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 20,593 | 102,965 | 144,151 | 350,081 | 720,755 | 1,750,405 | 2,450,567 | 12,252,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -20,593 | -102,965 | -144,151 | -350,081 | -720,755 | -1,750,405 | -2,450,567 | -12,252,835 |
