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 14,103,605, 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 | 14,103,605 | |
| -1 | -14,103,605 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,103,605.
Example:
1 x 14,103,605 = 14,103,605
and
-1 x -14,103,605 = 14,103,605
Notice both answers equal 14,103,605
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,103,605 and divide it by 2:
14,103,605 ÷ 2 = 7,051,802.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,051,802.5 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 | 14,103,605 | |
| -1 | -14,103,605 |
Now, we try dividing 14,103,605 by 3:
14,103,605 ÷ 3 = 4,701,201.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,701,201.6667 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 | 14,103,605 | |
| -1 | -14,103,605 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,103,605 ÷ 4 = 3,525,901.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,525,901.25 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 | 14,103,605 | |
| -1 | 14,103,605 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 31 | 95 | 155 | 589 | 2,945 | 4,789 | 23,945 | 90,991 | 148,459 | 454,955 | 742,295 | 2,820,721 | 14,103,605 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -31 | -95 | -155 | -589 | -2,945 | -4,789 | -23,945 | -90,991 | -148,459 | -454,955 | -742,295 | -2,820,721 | -14,103,605 |
