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 14,083,927, 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 | 14,083,927 | |
| -1 | -14,083,927 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,083,927.
Example:
1 x 14,083,927 = 14,083,927
and
-1 x -14,083,927 = 14,083,927
Notice both answers equal 14,083,927
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,083,927 and divide it by 2:
14,083,927 ÷ 2 = 7,041,963.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,041,963.5 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 | 14,083,927 | |
| -1 | -14,083,927 |
Now, we try dividing 14,083,927 by 3:
14,083,927 ÷ 3 = 4,694,642.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,694,642.3333 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 | 14,083,927 | |
| -1 | -14,083,927 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,083,927 ÷ 4 = 3,520,981.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,520,981.75 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 | 14,083,927 | |
| -1 | 14,083,927 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 149 | 661 | 1,639 | 1,937 | 7,271 | 8,593 | 21,307 | 94,523 | 98,489 | 1,083,379 | 1,280,357 | 14,083,927 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -149 | -661 | -1,639 | -1,937 | -7,271 | -8,593 | -21,307 | -94,523 | -98,489 | -1,083,379 | -1,280,357 | -14,083,927 |
