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 14,014,567, 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 | 14,014,567 | |
| -1 | -14,014,567 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,014,567.
Example:
1 x 14,014,567 = 14,014,567
and
-1 x -14,014,567 = 14,014,567
Notice both answers equal 14,014,567
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,014,567 and divide it by 2:
14,014,567 ÷ 2 = 7,007,283.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,007,283.5 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 | 14,014,567 | |
| -1 | -14,014,567 |
Now, we try dividing 14,014,567 by 3:
14,014,567 ÷ 3 = 4,671,522.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,671,522.3333 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 | 14,014,567 | |
| -1 | -14,014,567 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,014,567 ÷ 4 = 3,503,641.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,503,641.75 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 | 14,014,567 | |
| -1 | 14,014,567 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 61 | 161 | 427 | 1,403 | 1,427 | 9,821 | 9,989 | 32,821 | 87,047 | 229,747 | 609,329 | 2,002,081 | 14,014,567 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -61 | -161 | -427 | -1,403 | -1,427 | -9,821 | -9,989 | -32,821 | -87,047 | -229,747 | -609,329 | -2,002,081 | -14,014,567 |
