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 13,801,705, 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 | 13,801,705 | |
| -1 | -13,801,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,801,705.
Example:
1 x 13,801,705 = 13,801,705
and
-1 x -13,801,705 = 13,801,705
Notice both answers equal 13,801,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,801,705 and divide it by 2:
13,801,705 ÷ 2 = 6,900,852.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,900,852.5 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 | 13,801,705 | |
| -1 | -13,801,705 |
Now, we try dividing 13,801,705 by 3:
13,801,705 ÷ 3 = 4,600,568.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,600,568.3333 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 | 13,801,705 | |
| -1 | -13,801,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,801,705 ÷ 4 = 3,450,426.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,450,426.25 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 | 13,801,705 | |
| -1 | 13,801,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 397 | 409 | 1,985 | 2,045 | 6,749 | 6,953 | 33,745 | 34,765 | 162,373 | 811,865 | 2,760,341 | 13,801,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -397 | -409 | -1,985 | -2,045 | -6,749 | -6,953 | -33,745 | -34,765 | -162,373 | -811,865 | -2,760,341 | -13,801,705 |
