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 13,844,765, 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 | 13,844,765 | |
| -1 | -13,844,765 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,844,765.
Example:
1 x 13,844,765 = 13,844,765
and
-1 x -13,844,765 = 13,844,765
Notice both answers equal 13,844,765
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,844,765 and divide it by 2:
13,844,765 ÷ 2 = 6,922,382.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,922,382.5 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 | 13,844,765 | |
| -1 | -13,844,765 |
Now, we try dividing 13,844,765 by 3:
13,844,765 ÷ 3 = 4,614,921.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,614,921.6667 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 | 13,844,765 | |
| -1 | -13,844,765 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,844,765 ÷ 4 = 3,461,191.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,461,191.25 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 | 13,844,765 | |
| -1 | 13,844,765 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 211 | 1,055 | 1,193 | 2,321 | 5,965 | 11,605 | 13,123 | 65,615 | 251,723 | 1,258,615 | 2,768,953 | 13,844,765 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -211 | -1,055 | -1,193 | -2,321 | -5,965 | -11,605 | -13,123 | -65,615 | -251,723 | -1,258,615 | -2,768,953 | -13,844,765 |
