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 12,332,411, 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 | 12,332,411 | |
| -1 | -12,332,411 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,332,411.
Example:
1 x 12,332,411 = 12,332,411
and
-1 x -12,332,411 = 12,332,411
Notice both answers equal 12,332,411
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,332,411 and divide it by 2:
12,332,411 ÷ 2 = 6,166,205.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,166,205.5 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 | 12,332,411 | |
| -1 | -12,332,411 |
Now, we try dividing 12,332,411 by 3:
12,332,411 ÷ 3 = 4,110,803.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,110,803.6667 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 | 12,332,411 | |
| -1 | -12,332,411 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,332,411 ÷ 4 = 3,083,102.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,083,102.75 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 | 12,332,411 | |
| -1 | 12,332,411 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 53 | 91 | 371 | 689 | 2,557 | 4,823 | 17,899 | 33,241 | 135,521 | 232,687 | 948,647 | 1,761,773 | 12,332,411 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -53 | -91 | -371 | -689 | -2,557 | -4,823 | -17,899 | -33,241 | -135,521 | -232,687 | -948,647 | -1,761,773 | -12,332,411 |
