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 12,705,355, 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 | 12,705,355 | |
| -1 | -12,705,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,705,355.
Example:
1 x 12,705,355 = 12,705,355
and
-1 x -12,705,355 = 12,705,355
Notice both answers equal 12,705,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,705,355 and divide it by 2:
12,705,355 ÷ 2 = 6,352,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,352,677.5 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 | 12,705,355 | |
| -1 | -12,705,355 |
Now, we try dividing 12,705,355 by 3:
12,705,355 ÷ 3 = 4,235,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,235,118.3333 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 | 12,705,355 | |
| -1 | -12,705,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,705,355 ÷ 4 = 3,176,338.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,176,338.75 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 | 12,705,355 | |
| -1 | 12,705,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 59 | 65 | 295 | 767 | 3,313 | 3,835 | 16,565 | 43,069 | 195,467 | 215,345 | 977,335 | 2,541,071 | 12,705,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -59 | -65 | -295 | -767 | -3,313 | -3,835 | -16,565 | -43,069 | -195,467 | -215,345 | -977,335 | -2,541,071 | -12,705,355 |
