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 12,682,265, 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 | 12,682,265 | |
| -1 | -12,682,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,682,265.
Example:
1 x 12,682,265 = 12,682,265
and
-1 x -12,682,265 = 12,682,265
Notice both answers equal 12,682,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,682,265 and divide it by 2:
12,682,265 ÷ 2 = 6,341,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,341,132.5 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 | 12,682,265 | |
| -1 | -12,682,265 |
Now, we try dividing 12,682,265 by 3:
12,682,265 ÷ 3 = 4,227,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,227,421.6667 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 | 12,682,265 | |
| -1 | -12,682,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,682,265 ÷ 4 = 3,170,566.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,170,566.25 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 | 12,682,265 | |
| -1 | 12,682,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 97 | 331 | 395 | 485 | 1,655 | 7,663 | 26,149 | 32,107 | 38,315 | 130,745 | 160,535 | 2,536,453 | 12,682,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -97 | -331 | -395 | -485 | -1,655 | -7,663 | -26,149 | -32,107 | -38,315 | -130,745 | -160,535 | -2,536,453 | -12,682,265 |
