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 14,011,445, 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 | 14,011,445 | |
| -1 | -14,011,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,011,445.
Example:
1 x 14,011,445 = 14,011,445
and
-1 x -14,011,445 = 14,011,445
Notice both answers equal 14,011,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,011,445 and divide it by 2:
14,011,445 ÷ 2 = 7,005,722.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,005,722.5 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 | 14,011,445 | |
| -1 | -14,011,445 |
Now, we try dividing 14,011,445 by 3:
14,011,445 ÷ 3 = 4,670,481.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,670,481.6667 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 | 14,011,445 | |
| -1 | -14,011,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,011,445 ÷ 4 = 3,502,861.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,502,861.25 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 | 14,011,445 | |
| -1 | 14,011,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 313 | 1,279 | 1,565 | 2,191 | 6,395 | 8,953 | 10,955 | 44,765 | 400,327 | 2,001,635 | 2,802,289 | 14,011,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -313 | -1,279 | -1,565 | -2,191 | -6,395 | -8,953 | -10,955 | -44,765 | -400,327 | -2,001,635 | -2,802,289 | -14,011,445 |
