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 13,228,855, 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 | 13,228,855 | |
| -1 | -13,228,855 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,228,855.
Example:
1 x 13,228,855 = 13,228,855
and
-1 x -13,228,855 = 13,228,855
Notice both answers equal 13,228,855
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,228,855 and divide it by 2:
13,228,855 ÷ 2 = 6,614,427.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,614,427.5 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 | 13,228,855 | |
| -1 | -13,228,855 |
Now, we try dividing 13,228,855 by 3:
13,228,855 ÷ 3 = 4,409,618.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,409,618.3333 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 | 13,228,855 | |
| -1 | -13,228,855 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,228,855 ÷ 4 = 3,307,213.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,307,213.75 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 | 13,228,855 | |
| -1 | 13,228,855 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 47 | 205 | 235 | 1,373 | 1,927 | 6,865 | 9,635 | 56,293 | 64,531 | 281,465 | 322,655 | 2,645,771 | 13,228,855 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -47 | -205 | -235 | -1,373 | -1,927 | -6,865 | -9,635 | -56,293 | -64,531 | -281,465 | -322,655 | -2,645,771 | -13,228,855 |
