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 13,335,859, 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 | 13,335,859 | |
| -1 | -13,335,859 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,335,859.
Example:
1 x 13,335,859 = 13,335,859
and
-1 x -13,335,859 = 13,335,859
Notice both answers equal 13,335,859
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,335,859 and divide it by 2:
13,335,859 ÷ 2 = 6,667,929.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,667,929.5 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 | 13,335,859 | |
| -1 | -13,335,859 |
Now, we try dividing 13,335,859 by 3:
13,335,859 ÷ 3 = 4,445,286.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,445,286.3333 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 | 13,335,859 | |
| -1 | -13,335,859 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,335,859 ÷ 4 = 3,333,964.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,333,964.75 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 | 13,335,859 | |
| -1 | 13,335,859 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 31 | 71 | 73 | 83 | 2,201 | 2,263 | 2,573 | 5,183 | 5,893 | 6,059 | 160,673 | 182,683 | 187,829 | 430,189 | 13,335,859 |
| -1 | -31 | -71 | -73 | -83 | -2,201 | -2,263 | -2,573 | -5,183 | -5,893 | -6,059 | -160,673 | -182,683 | -187,829 | -430,189 | -13,335,859 |
