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 14,062,405, 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 | 14,062,405 | |
| -1 | -14,062,405 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,062,405.
Example:
1 x 14,062,405 = 14,062,405
and
-1 x -14,062,405 = 14,062,405
Notice both answers equal 14,062,405
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,062,405 and divide it by 2:
14,062,405 ÷ 2 = 7,031,202.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,031,202.5 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 | 14,062,405 | |
| -1 | -14,062,405 |
Now, we try dividing 14,062,405 by 3:
14,062,405 ÷ 3 = 4,687,468.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,687,468.3333 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 | 14,062,405 | |
| -1 | -14,062,405 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,062,405 ÷ 4 = 3,515,601.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,515,601.25 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 | 14,062,405 | |
| -1 | 14,062,405 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 185 | 259 | 1,295 | 10,859 | 54,295 | 76,013 | 380,065 | 401,783 | 2,008,915 | 2,812,481 | 14,062,405 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -185 | -259 | -1,295 | -10,859 | -54,295 | -76,013 | -380,065 | -401,783 | -2,008,915 | -2,812,481 | -14,062,405 |
