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 14,011,123, 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 | 14,011,123 | |
| -1 | -14,011,123 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,011,123.
Example:
1 x 14,011,123 = 14,011,123
and
-1 x -14,011,123 = 14,011,123
Notice both answers equal 14,011,123
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,011,123 and divide it by 2:
14,011,123 ÷ 2 = 7,005,561.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,005,561.5 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 | 14,011,123 | |
| -1 | -14,011,123 |
Now, we try dividing 14,011,123 by 3:
14,011,123 ÷ 3 = 4,670,374.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,670,374.3333 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 | 14,011,123 | |
| -1 | -14,011,123 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,011,123 ÷ 4 = 3,502,780.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,502,780.75 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 | 14,011,123 | |
| -1 | 14,011,123 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 47 | 259 | 329 | 1,151 | 1,739 | 8,057 | 12,173 | 42,587 | 54,097 | 298,109 | 378,679 | 2,001,589 | 14,011,123 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -47 | -259 | -329 | -1,151 | -1,739 | -8,057 | -12,173 | -42,587 | -54,097 | -298,109 | -378,679 | -2,001,589 | -14,011,123 |
