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 12,703,595, 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 | 12,703,595 | |
| -1 | -12,703,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,703,595.
Example:
1 x 12,703,595 = 12,703,595
and
-1 x -12,703,595 = 12,703,595
Notice both answers equal 12,703,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,703,595 and divide it by 2:
12,703,595 ÷ 2 = 6,351,797.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,351,797.5 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 | 12,703,595 | |
| -1 | -12,703,595 |
Now, we try dividing 12,703,595 by 3:
12,703,595 ÷ 3 = 4,234,531.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,234,531.6667 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 | 12,703,595 | |
| -1 | -12,703,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,703,595 ÷ 4 = 3,175,898.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,175,898.75 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 | 12,703,595 | |
| -1 | 12,703,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 79 | 145 | 395 | 1,109 | 2,291 | 5,545 | 11,455 | 32,161 | 87,611 | 160,805 | 438,055 | 2,540,719 | 12,703,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -79 | -145 | -395 | -1,109 | -2,291 | -5,545 | -11,455 | -32,161 | -87,611 | -160,805 | -438,055 | -2,540,719 | -12,703,595 |
