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 12,305,345, 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 | 12,305,345 | |
| -1 | -12,305,345 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,305,345.
Example:
1 x 12,305,345 = 12,305,345
and
-1 x -12,305,345 = 12,305,345
Notice both answers equal 12,305,345
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,305,345 and divide it by 2:
12,305,345 ÷ 2 = 6,152,672.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,152,672.5 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 | 12,305,345 | |
| -1 | -12,305,345 |
Now, we try dividing 12,305,345 by 3:
12,305,345 ÷ 3 = 4,101,781.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,101,781.6667 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 | 12,305,345 | |
| -1 | -12,305,345 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,305,345 ÷ 4 = 3,076,336.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,076,336.25 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 | 12,305,345 | |
| -1 | 12,305,345 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 23 | 65 | 115 | 299 | 1,495 | 8,231 | 41,155 | 107,003 | 189,313 | 535,015 | 946,565 | 2,461,069 | 12,305,345 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -23 | -65 | -115 | -299 | -1,495 | -8,231 | -41,155 | -107,003 | -189,313 | -535,015 | -946,565 | -2,461,069 | -12,305,345 |
