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 14,008,265, 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 | 14,008,265 | |
| -1 | -14,008,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,008,265.
Example:
1 x 14,008,265 = 14,008,265
and
-1 x -14,008,265 = 14,008,265
Notice both answers equal 14,008,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,008,265 and divide it by 2:
14,008,265 ÷ 2 = 7,004,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,004,132.5 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 | 14,008,265 | |
| -1 | -14,008,265 |
Now, we try dividing 14,008,265 by 3:
14,008,265 ÷ 3 = 4,669,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,669,421.6667 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 | 14,008,265 | |
| -1 | -14,008,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,008,265 ÷ 4 = 3,502,066.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,502,066.25 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 | 14,008,265 | |
| -1 | 14,008,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 41 | 115 | 205 | 943 | 2,971 | 4,715 | 14,855 | 68,333 | 121,811 | 341,665 | 609,055 | 2,801,653 | 14,008,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -41 | -115 | -205 | -943 | -2,971 | -4,715 | -14,855 | -68,333 | -121,811 | -341,665 | -609,055 | -2,801,653 | -14,008,265 |
