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 13,811,465, 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 | 13,811,465 | |
| -1 | -13,811,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,811,465.
Example:
1 x 13,811,465 = 13,811,465
and
-1 x -13,811,465 = 13,811,465
Notice both answers equal 13,811,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,811,465 and divide it by 2:
13,811,465 ÷ 2 = 6,905,732.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,905,732.5 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 | 13,811,465 | |
| -1 | -13,811,465 |
Now, we try dividing 13,811,465 by 3:
13,811,465 ÷ 3 = 4,603,821.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,603,821.6667 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 | 13,811,465 | |
| -1 | -13,811,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,811,465 ÷ 4 = 3,452,866.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,452,866.25 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 | 13,811,465 | |
| -1 | 13,811,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 89 | 205 | 445 | 757 | 3,649 | 3,785 | 18,245 | 31,037 | 67,373 | 155,185 | 336,865 | 2,762,293 | 13,811,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -89 | -205 | -445 | -757 | -3,649 | -3,785 | -18,245 | -31,037 | -67,373 | -155,185 | -336,865 | -2,762,293 | -13,811,465 |
