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 14,039,179, 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 | 14,039,179 | |
| -1 | -14,039,179 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,039,179.
Example:
1 x 14,039,179 = 14,039,179
and
-1 x -14,039,179 = 14,039,179
Notice both answers equal 14,039,179
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,039,179 and divide it by 2:
14,039,179 ÷ 2 = 7,019,589.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,019,589.5 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 | 14,039,179 | |
| -1 | -14,039,179 |
Now, we try dividing 14,039,179 by 3:
14,039,179 ÷ 3 = 4,679,726.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,679,726.3333 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 | 14,039,179 | |
| -1 | -14,039,179 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,039,179 ÷ 4 = 3,509,794.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,509,794.75 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 | 14,039,179 | |
| -1 | 14,039,179 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 41 | 77 | 287 | 451 | 3,157 | 4,447 | 31,129 | 48,917 | 182,327 | 342,419 | 1,276,289 | 2,005,597 | 14,039,179 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -41 | -77 | -287 | -451 | -3,157 | -4,447 | -31,129 | -48,917 | -182,327 | -342,419 | -1,276,289 | -2,005,597 | -14,039,179 |
