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 13,678,789, 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 | 13,678,789 | |
| -1 | -13,678,789 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,678,789.
Example:
1 x 13,678,789 = 13,678,789
and
-1 x -13,678,789 = 13,678,789
Notice both answers equal 13,678,789
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,678,789 and divide it by 2:
13,678,789 ÷ 2 = 6,839,394.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,839,394.5 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 | 13,678,789 | |
| -1 | -13,678,789 |
Now, we try dividing 13,678,789 by 3:
13,678,789 ÷ 3 = 4,559,596.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,559,596.3333 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 | 13,678,789 | |
| -1 | -13,678,789 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,678,789 ÷ 4 = 3,419,697.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,419,697.25 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 | 13,678,789 | |
| -1 | 13,678,789 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 41 | 71 | 127 | 1,517 | 2,627 | 2,911 | 4,699 | 5,207 | 9,017 | 107,707 | 192,659 | 333,629 | 369,697 | 13,678,789 |
| -1 | -37 | -41 | -71 | -127 | -1,517 | -2,627 | -2,911 | -4,699 | -5,207 | -9,017 | -107,707 | -192,659 | -333,629 | -369,697 | -13,678,789 |
