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 13,708,001, 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 | 13,708,001 | |
| -1 | -13,708,001 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,708,001.
Example:
1 x 13,708,001 = 13,708,001
and
-1 x -13,708,001 = 13,708,001
Notice both answers equal 13,708,001
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,708,001 and divide it by 2:
13,708,001 ÷ 2 = 6,854,000.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,854,000.5 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 | 13,708,001 | |
| -1 | -13,708,001 |
Now, we try dividing 13,708,001 by 3:
13,708,001 ÷ 3 = 4,569,333.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,569,333.6667 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 | 13,708,001 | |
| -1 | -13,708,001 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,708,001 ÷ 4 = 3,427,000.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,427,000.25 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 | 13,708,001 | |
| -1 | 13,708,001 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 59 | 79 | 173 | 1,003 | 1,343 | 2,941 | 4,661 | 10,207 | 13,667 | 79,237 | 173,519 | 232,339 | 806,353 | 13,708,001 |
| -1 | -17 | -59 | -79 | -173 | -1,003 | -1,343 | -2,941 | -4,661 | -10,207 | -13,667 | -79,237 | -173,519 | -232,339 | -806,353 | -13,708,001 |
