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 14,054,315, 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 | 14,054,315 | |
| -1 | -14,054,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,054,315.
Example:
1 x 14,054,315 = 14,054,315
and
-1 x -14,054,315 = 14,054,315
Notice both answers equal 14,054,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,054,315 and divide it by 2:
14,054,315 ÷ 2 = 7,027,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,027,157.5 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 | 14,054,315 | |
| -1 | -14,054,315 |
Now, we try dividing 14,054,315 by 3:
14,054,315 ÷ 3 = 4,684,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,684,771.6667 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 | 14,054,315 | |
| -1 | -14,054,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,054,315 ÷ 4 = 3,513,578.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,513,578.75 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 | 14,054,315 | |
| -1 | 14,054,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 8,243 | 41,215 | 90,673 | 255,533 | 453,365 | 1,277,665 | 2,810,863 | 14,054,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -8,243 | -41,215 | -90,673 | -255,533 | -453,365 | -1,277,665 | -2,810,863 | -14,054,315 |
