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 12,458,065, 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 | 12,458,065 | |
| -1 | -12,458,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,458,065.
Example:
1 x 12,458,065 = 12,458,065
and
-1 x -12,458,065 = 12,458,065
Notice both answers equal 12,458,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,458,065 and divide it by 2:
12,458,065 ÷ 2 = 6,229,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,229,032.5 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 | 12,458,065 | |
| -1 | -12,458,065 |
Now, we try dividing 12,458,065 by 3:
12,458,065 ÷ 3 = 4,152,688.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,152,688.3333 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 | 12,458,065 | |
| -1 | -12,458,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,458,065 ÷ 4 = 3,114,516.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,114,516.25 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 | 12,458,065 | |
| -1 | 12,458,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 115 | 127 | 635 | 853 | 2,921 | 4,265 | 14,605 | 19,619 | 98,095 | 108,331 | 541,655 | 2,491,613 | 12,458,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -115 | -127 | -635 | -853 | -2,921 | -4,265 | -14,605 | -19,619 | -98,095 | -108,331 | -541,655 | -2,491,613 | -12,458,065 |
