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 12,602,765, 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 | 12,602,765 | |
| -1 | -12,602,765 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,602,765.
Example:
1 x 12,602,765 = 12,602,765
and
-1 x -12,602,765 = 12,602,765
Notice both answers equal 12,602,765
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,602,765 and divide it by 2:
12,602,765 ÷ 2 = 6,301,382.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,301,382.5 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 | 12,602,765 | |
| -1 | -12,602,765 |
Now, we try dividing 12,602,765 by 3:
12,602,765 ÷ 3 = 4,200,921.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,200,921.6667 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 | 12,602,765 | |
| -1 | -12,602,765 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,602,765 ÷ 4 = 3,150,691.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,150,691.25 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 | 12,602,765 | |
| -1 | 12,602,765 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 397 | 907 | 1,985 | 2,779 | 4,535 | 6,349 | 13,895 | 31,745 | 360,079 | 1,800,395 | 2,520,553 | 12,602,765 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -397 | -907 | -1,985 | -2,779 | -4,535 | -6,349 | -13,895 | -31,745 | -360,079 | -1,800,395 | -2,520,553 | -12,602,765 |
