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 12,915,535, 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 | 12,915,535 | |
| -1 | -12,915,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,915,535.
Example:
1 x 12,915,535 = 12,915,535
and
-1 x -12,915,535 = 12,915,535
Notice both answers equal 12,915,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,915,535 and divide it by 2:
12,915,535 ÷ 2 = 6,457,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,457,767.5 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 | 12,915,535 | |
| -1 | -12,915,535 |
Now, we try dividing 12,915,535 by 3:
12,915,535 ÷ 3 = 4,305,178.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,305,178.3333 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 | 12,915,535 | |
| -1 | -12,915,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,915,535 ÷ 4 = 3,228,883.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,228,883.75 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 | 12,915,535 | |
| -1 | 12,915,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 23 | 95 | 115 | 257 | 437 | 529 | 1,285 | 2,185 | 2,645 | 4,883 | 5,911 | 10,051 | 24,415 | 29,555 | 50,255 | 112,309 | 135,953 | 561,545 | 679,765 | 2,583,107 | 12,915,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -23 | -95 | -115 | -257 | -437 | -529 | -1,285 | -2,185 | -2,645 | -4,883 | -5,911 | -10,051 | -24,415 | -29,555 | -50,255 | -112,309 | -135,953 | -561,545 | -679,765 | -2,583,107 | -12,915,535 |
