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 12,613,783, 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 | 12,613,783 | |
| -1 | -12,613,783 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,613,783.
Example:
1 x 12,613,783 = 12,613,783
and
-1 x -12,613,783 = 12,613,783
Notice both answers equal 12,613,783
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,613,783 and divide it by 2:
12,613,783 ÷ 2 = 6,306,891.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,306,891.5 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 | 12,613,783 | |
| -1 | -12,613,783 |
Now, we try dividing 12,613,783 by 3:
12,613,783 ÷ 3 = 4,204,594.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,204,594.3333 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 | 12,613,783 | |
| -1 | -12,613,783 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,613,783 ÷ 4 = 3,153,445.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,153,445.75 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 | 12,613,783 | |
| -1 | 12,613,783 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 97 | 679 | 1,261 | 1,429 | 8,827 | 10,003 | 18,577 | 130,039 | 138,613 | 970,291 | 1,801,969 | 12,613,783 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -97 | -679 | -1,261 | -1,429 | -8,827 | -10,003 | -18,577 | -130,039 | -138,613 | -970,291 | -1,801,969 | -12,613,783 |
