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 14,065,429, 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 | 14,065,429 | |
| -1 | -14,065,429 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,065,429.
Example:
1 x 14,065,429 = 14,065,429
and
-1 x -14,065,429 = 14,065,429
Notice both answers equal 14,065,429
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,065,429 and divide it by 2:
14,065,429 ÷ 2 = 7,032,714.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,032,714.5 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 | 14,065,429 | |
| -1 | -14,065,429 |
Now, we try dividing 14,065,429 by 3:
14,065,429 ÷ 3 = 4,688,476.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,688,476.3333 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 | 14,065,429 | |
| -1 | -14,065,429 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,065,429 ÷ 4 = 3,516,357.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,516,357.25 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 | 14,065,429 | |
| -1 | 14,065,429 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 43 | 83 | 301 | 563 | 581 | 3,569 | 3,941 | 24,209 | 24,983 | 46,729 | 169,463 | 327,103 | 2,009,347 | 14,065,429 |
| -1 | -7 | -43 | -83 | -301 | -563 | -581 | -3,569 | -3,941 | -24,209 | -24,983 | -46,729 | -169,463 | -327,103 | -2,009,347 | -14,065,429 |
