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 12,111,012, 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 | 12,111,012 | |
| -1 | -12,111,012 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 12,111,012.
Example:
1 x 12,111,012 = 12,111,012
and
-1 x -12,111,012 = 12,111,012
Notice both answers equal 12,111,012
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 12,111,012 and divide it by 2:
12,111,012 ÷ 2 = 6,055,506
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,055,506 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 6,055,506 | 12,111,012 | |
| -1 | -2 | -6,055,506 | -12,111,012 |
Now, we try dividing 12,111,012 by 3:
12,111,012 ÷ 3 = 4,037,004
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,037,004 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4,037,004 | 6,055,506 | 12,111,012 | |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4,037,004 | -6,055,506 | -12,111,012 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
12,111,012 ÷ 4 = 3,027,753
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,027,753 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3,027,753 | 4,037,004 | 6,055,506 | 12,111,012 | |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -3,027,753 | -4,037,004 | -6,055,506 | 12,111,012 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 18 | 27 | 36 | 54 | 108 | 112,139 | 224,278 | 336,417 | 448,556 | 672,834 | 1,009,251 | 1,345,668 | 2,018,502 | 3,027,753 | 4,037,004 | 6,055,506 | 12,111,012 |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -6 | -9 | -12 | -18 | -27 | -36 | -54 | -108 | -112,139 | -224,278 | -336,417 | -448,556 | -672,834 | -1,009,251 | -1,345,668 | -2,018,502 | -3,027,753 | -4,037,004 | -6,055,506 | -12,111,012 |
