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 12,785,815, 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 | 12,785,815 | |
| -1 | -12,785,815 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,785,815.
Example:
1 x 12,785,815 = 12,785,815
and
-1 x -12,785,815 = 12,785,815
Notice both answers equal 12,785,815
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,785,815 and divide it by 2:
12,785,815 ÷ 2 = 6,392,907.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,392,907.5 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 | 12,785,815 | |
| -1 | -12,785,815 |
Now, we try dividing 12,785,815 by 3:
12,785,815 ÷ 3 = 4,261,938.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,261,938.3333 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 | 12,785,815 | |
| -1 | -12,785,815 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,785,815 ÷ 4 = 3,196,453.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,196,453.75 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 | 12,785,815 | |
| -1 | 12,785,815 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 23 | 35 | 49 | 115 | 161 | 245 | 805 | 1,127 | 2,269 | 5,635 | 11,345 | 15,883 | 52,187 | 79,415 | 111,181 | 260,935 | 365,309 | 555,905 | 1,826,545 | 2,557,163 | 12,785,815 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -23 | -35 | -49 | -115 | -161 | -245 | -805 | -1,127 | -2,269 | -5,635 | -11,345 | -15,883 | -52,187 | -79,415 | -111,181 | -260,935 | -365,309 | -555,905 | -1,826,545 | -2,557,163 | -12,785,815 |
