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 14,046,043, 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 | 14,046,043 | |
| -1 | -14,046,043 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,046,043.
Example:
1 x 14,046,043 = 14,046,043
and
-1 x -14,046,043 = 14,046,043
Notice both answers equal 14,046,043
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,046,043 and divide it by 2:
14,046,043 ÷ 2 = 7,023,021.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,023,021.5 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 | 14,046,043 | |
| -1 | -14,046,043 |
Now, we try dividing 14,046,043 by 3:
14,046,043 ÷ 3 = 4,682,014.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,682,014.3333 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 | 14,046,043 | |
| -1 | -14,046,043 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,046,043 ÷ 4 = 3,511,510.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,511,510.75 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 | 14,046,043 | |
| -1 | 14,046,043 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 61 | 121 | 173 | 671 | 1,331 | 1,903 | 7,381 | 10,553 | 20,933 | 81,191 | 116,083 | 230,263 | 1,276,913 | 14,046,043 |
| -1 | -11 | -61 | -121 | -173 | -671 | -1,331 | -1,903 | -7,381 | -10,553 | -20,933 | -81,191 | -116,083 | -230,263 | -1,276,913 | -14,046,043 |
