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 14,114,131, 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 | 14,114,131 | |
| -1 | -14,114,131 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,114,131.
Example:
1 x 14,114,131 = 14,114,131
and
-1 x -14,114,131 = 14,114,131
Notice both answers equal 14,114,131
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,114,131 and divide it by 2:
14,114,131 ÷ 2 = 7,057,065.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,057,065.5 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 | 14,114,131 | |
| -1 | -14,114,131 |
Now, we try dividing 14,114,131 by 3:
14,114,131 ÷ 3 = 4,704,710.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,704,710.3333 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 | 14,114,131 | |
| -1 | -14,114,131 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,114,131 ÷ 4 = 3,528,532.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,528,532.75 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 | 14,114,131 | |
| -1 | 14,114,131 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 37 | 323 | 629 | 703 | 1,181 | 11,951 | 20,077 | 22,439 | 43,697 | 381,463 | 742,849 | 830,243 | 14,114,131 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -37 | -323 | -629 | -703 | -1,181 | -11,951 | -20,077 | -22,439 | -43,697 | -381,463 | -742,849 | -830,243 | -14,114,131 |
