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 12,752,635, 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 | 12,752,635 | |
| -1 | -12,752,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,752,635.
Example:
1 x 12,752,635 = 12,752,635
and
-1 x -12,752,635 = 12,752,635
Notice both answers equal 12,752,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,752,635 and divide it by 2:
12,752,635 ÷ 2 = 6,376,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,376,317.5 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 | 12,752,635 | |
| -1 | -12,752,635 |
Now, we try dividing 12,752,635 by 3:
12,752,635 ÷ 3 = 4,250,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,250,878.3333 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 | 12,752,635 | |
| -1 | -12,752,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,752,635 ÷ 4 = 3,188,158.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,188,158.75 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 | 12,752,635 | |
| -1 | 12,752,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 21,433 | 107,165 | 150,031 | 364,361 | 750,155 | 1,821,805 | 2,550,527 | 12,752,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -21,433 | -107,165 | -150,031 | -364,361 | -750,155 | -1,821,805 | -2,550,527 | -12,752,635 |
