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 14,111,375, 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 | 14,111,375 | |
| -1 | -14,111,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,111,375.
Example:
1 x 14,111,375 = 14,111,375
and
-1 x -14,111,375 = 14,111,375
Notice both answers equal 14,111,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,111,375 and divide it by 2:
14,111,375 ÷ 2 = 7,055,687.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,055,687.5 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 | 14,111,375 | |
| -1 | -14,111,375 |
Now, we try dividing 14,111,375 by 3:
14,111,375 ÷ 3 = 4,703,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,703,791.6667 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 | 14,111,375 | |
| -1 | -14,111,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,111,375 ÷ 4 = 3,527,843.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,527,843.75 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 | 14,111,375 | |
| -1 | 14,111,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 79 | 125 | 395 | 1,429 | 1,975 | 7,145 | 9,875 | 35,725 | 112,891 | 178,625 | 564,455 | 2,822,275 | 14,111,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -79 | -125 | -395 | -1,429 | -1,975 | -7,145 | -9,875 | -35,725 | -112,891 | -178,625 | -564,455 | -2,822,275 | -14,111,375 |
