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 14,023,165, 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 | 14,023,165 | |
| -1 | -14,023,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,023,165.
Example:
1 x 14,023,165 = 14,023,165
and
-1 x -14,023,165 = 14,023,165
Notice both answers equal 14,023,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,023,165 and divide it by 2:
14,023,165 ÷ 2 = 7,011,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,011,582.5 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 | 14,023,165 | |
| -1 | -14,023,165 |
Now, we try dividing 14,023,165 by 3:
14,023,165 ÷ 3 = 4,674,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,674,388.3333 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 | 14,023,165 | |
| -1 | -14,023,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,023,165 ÷ 4 = 3,505,791.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,505,791.25 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 | 14,023,165 | |
| -1 | 14,023,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 443 | 487 | 2,215 | 2,435 | 5,759 | 6,331 | 28,795 | 31,655 | 215,741 | 1,078,705 | 2,804,633 | 14,023,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -443 | -487 | -2,215 | -2,435 | -5,759 | -6,331 | -28,795 | -31,655 | -215,741 | -1,078,705 | -2,804,633 | -14,023,165 |
