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 13,462,555, 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 | 13,462,555 | |
| -1 | -13,462,555 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,462,555.
Example:
1 x 13,462,555 = 13,462,555
and
-1 x -13,462,555 = 13,462,555
Notice both answers equal 13,462,555
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,462,555 and divide it by 2:
13,462,555 ÷ 2 = 6,731,277.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,731,277.5 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 | 13,462,555 | |
| -1 | -13,462,555 |
Now, we try dividing 13,462,555 by 3:
13,462,555 ÷ 3 = 4,487,518.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,487,518.3333 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 | 13,462,555 | |
| -1 | -13,462,555 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,462,555 ÷ 4 = 3,365,638.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,365,638.75 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 | 13,462,555 | |
| -1 | 13,462,555 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 41 | 85 | 205 | 697 | 3,485 | 3,863 | 19,315 | 65,671 | 158,383 | 328,355 | 791,915 | 2,692,511 | 13,462,555 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -41 | -85 | -205 | -697 | -3,485 | -3,863 | -19,315 | -65,671 | -158,383 | -328,355 | -791,915 | -2,692,511 | -13,462,555 |
