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 13,962,065, 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 | 13,962,065 | |
| -1 | -13,962,065 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 13,962,065.
Example:
1 x 13,962,065 = 13,962,065
and
-1 x -13,962,065 = 13,962,065
Notice both answers equal 13,962,065
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 13,962,065 and divide it by 2:
13,962,065 ÷ 2 = 6,981,032.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 6,981,032.5 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 | 13,962,065 | |
| -1 | -13,962,065 |
Now, we try dividing 13,962,065 by 3:
13,962,065 ÷ 3 = 4,654,021.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,654,021.6667 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 | 13,962,065 | |
| -1 | -13,962,065 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
13,962,065 ÷ 4 = 3,490,516.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,490,516.25 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 | 13,962,065 | |
| -1 | 13,962,065 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 79 | 395 | 1,027 | 2,719 | 5,135 | 13,595 | 35,347 | 176,735 | 214,801 | 1,074,005 | 2,792,413 | 13,962,065 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -79 | -395 | -1,027 | -2,719 | -5,135 | -13,595 | -35,347 | -176,735 | -214,801 | -1,074,005 | -2,792,413 | -13,962,065 |
