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 13,745,683, 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 | 13,745,683 | |
| -1 | -13,745,683 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,745,683.
Example:
1 x 13,745,683 = 13,745,683
and
-1 x -13,745,683 = 13,745,683
Notice both answers equal 13,745,683
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,745,683 and divide it by 2:
13,745,683 ÷ 2 = 6,872,841.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,872,841.5 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 | 13,745,683 | |
| -1 | -13,745,683 |
Now, we try dividing 13,745,683 by 3:
13,745,683 ÷ 3 = 4,581,894.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,581,894.3333 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 | 13,745,683 | |
| -1 | -13,745,683 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,745,683 ÷ 4 = 3,436,420.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,436,420.75 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 | 13,745,683 | |
| -1 | 13,745,683 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 181 | 571 | 1,267 | 3,439 | 3,997 | 10,849 | 24,073 | 75,943 | 103,351 | 723,457 | 1,963,669 | 13,745,683 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -181 | -571 | -1,267 | -3,439 | -3,997 | -10,849 | -24,073 | -75,943 | -103,351 | -723,457 | -1,963,669 | -13,745,683 |
