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 13,431,055, 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 | 13,431,055 | |
| -1 | -13,431,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,431,055.
Example:
1 x 13,431,055 = 13,431,055
and
-1 x -13,431,055 = 13,431,055
Notice both answers equal 13,431,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,431,055 and divide it by 2:
13,431,055 ÷ 2 = 6,715,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,715,527.5 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 | 13,431,055 | |
| -1 | -13,431,055 |
Now, we try dividing 13,431,055 by 3:
13,431,055 ÷ 3 = 4,477,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,477,018.3333 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 | 13,431,055 | |
| -1 | -13,431,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,431,055 ÷ 4 = 3,357,763.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,357,763.75 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 | 13,431,055 | |
| -1 | 13,431,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 59 | 295 | 649 | 3,245 | 4,139 | 20,695 | 45,529 | 227,645 | 244,201 | 1,221,005 | 2,686,211 | 13,431,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -59 | -295 | -649 | -3,245 | -4,139 | -20,695 | -45,529 | -227,645 | -244,201 | -1,221,005 | -2,686,211 | -13,431,055 |
