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 14,052,995, 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 | 14,052,995 | |
| -1 | -14,052,995 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,052,995.
Example:
1 x 14,052,995 = 14,052,995
and
-1 x -14,052,995 = 14,052,995
Notice both answers equal 14,052,995
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,052,995 and divide it by 2:
14,052,995 ÷ 2 = 7,026,497.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,026,497.5 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 | 14,052,995 | |
| -1 | -14,052,995 |
Now, we try dividing 14,052,995 by 3:
14,052,995 ÷ 3 = 4,684,331.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,684,331.6667 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 | 14,052,995 | |
| -1 | -14,052,995 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,052,995 ÷ 4 = 3,513,248.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,513,248.75 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 | 14,052,995 | |
| -1 | 14,052,995 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 197 | 985 | 1,297 | 2,167 | 6,485 | 10,835 | 14,267 | 71,335 | 255,509 | 1,277,545 | 2,810,599 | 14,052,995 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -197 | -985 | -1,297 | -2,167 | -6,485 | -10,835 | -14,267 | -71,335 | -255,509 | -1,277,545 | -2,810,599 | -14,052,995 |
