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 14,030,401, 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 | 14,030,401 | |
| -1 | -14,030,401 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,030,401.
Example:
1 x 14,030,401 = 14,030,401
and
-1 x -14,030,401 = 14,030,401
Notice both answers equal 14,030,401
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,030,401 and divide it by 2:
14,030,401 ÷ 2 = 7,015,200.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,015,200.5 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 | 14,030,401 | |
| -1 | -14,030,401 |
Now, we try dividing 14,030,401 by 3:
14,030,401 ÷ 3 = 4,676,800.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,676,800.3333 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 | 14,030,401 | |
| -1 | -14,030,401 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,030,401 ÷ 4 = 3,507,600.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,507,600.25 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 | 14,030,401 | |
| -1 | 14,030,401 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 257 | 709 | 1,799 | 2,827 | 4,963 | 7,799 | 19,789 | 54,593 | 182,213 | 1,275,491 | 2,004,343 | 14,030,401 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -257 | -709 | -1,799 | -2,827 | -4,963 | -7,799 | -19,789 | -54,593 | -182,213 | -1,275,491 | -2,004,343 | -14,030,401 |
