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 14,044,121, 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 | 14,044,121 | |
| -1 | -14,044,121 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,044,121.
Example:
1 x 14,044,121 = 14,044,121
and
-1 x -14,044,121 = 14,044,121
Notice both answers equal 14,044,121
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,044,121 and divide it by 2:
14,044,121 ÷ 2 = 7,022,060.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,022,060.5 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 | 14,044,121 | |
| -1 | -14,044,121 |
Now, we try dividing 14,044,121 by 3:
14,044,121 ÷ 3 = 4,681,373.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,681,373.6667 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 | 14,044,121 | |
| -1 | -14,044,121 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,044,121 ÷ 4 = 3,511,030.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,511,030.25 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 | 14,044,121 | |
| -1 | 14,044,121 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 157 | 983 | 1,099 | 2,041 | 6,881 | 12,779 | 14,287 | 89,453 | 154,331 | 1,080,317 | 2,006,303 | 14,044,121 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -157 | -983 | -1,099 | -2,041 | -6,881 | -12,779 | -14,287 | -89,453 | -154,331 | -1,080,317 | -2,006,303 | -14,044,121 |
