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 13,779,733, 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 | 13,779,733 | |
| -1 | -13,779,733 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,779,733.
Example:
1 x 13,779,733 = 13,779,733
and
-1 x -13,779,733 = 13,779,733
Notice both answers equal 13,779,733
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,779,733 and divide it by 2:
13,779,733 ÷ 2 = 6,889,866.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,889,866.5 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 | 13,779,733 | |
| -1 | -13,779,733 |
Now, we try dividing 13,779,733 by 3:
13,779,733 ÷ 3 = 4,593,244.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,593,244.3333 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 | 13,779,733 | |
| -1 | -13,779,733 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,779,733 ÷ 4 = 3,444,933.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,444,933.25 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 | 13,779,733 | |
| -1 | 13,779,733 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 79 | 101 | 157 | 869 | 1,111 | 1,727 | 7,979 | 12,403 | 15,857 | 87,769 | 136,433 | 174,427 | 1,252,703 | 13,779,733 |
| -1 | -11 | -79 | -101 | -157 | -869 | -1,111 | -1,727 | -7,979 | -12,403 | -15,857 | -87,769 | -136,433 | -174,427 | -1,252,703 | -13,779,733 |
