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 14,117,225, 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 | 14,117,225 | |
| -1 | -14,117,225 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,117,225.
Example:
1 x 14,117,225 = 14,117,225
and
-1 x -14,117,225 = 14,117,225
Notice both answers equal 14,117,225
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,117,225 and divide it by 2:
14,117,225 ÷ 2 = 7,058,612.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,058,612.5 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 | 14,117,225 | |
| -1 | -14,117,225 |
Now, we try dividing 14,117,225 by 3:
14,117,225 ÷ 3 = 4,705,741.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,705,741.6667 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 | 14,117,225 | |
| -1 | -14,117,225 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,117,225 ÷ 4 = 3,529,306.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,529,306.25 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 | 14,117,225 | |
| -1 | 14,117,225 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 59 | 85 | 295 | 425 | 563 | 1,003 | 1,475 | 2,815 | 5,015 | 9,571 | 14,075 | 25,075 | 33,217 | 47,855 | 166,085 | 239,275 | 564,689 | 830,425 | 2,823,445 | 14,117,225 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -59 | -85 | -295 | -425 | -563 | -1,003 | -1,475 | -2,815 | -5,015 | -9,571 | -14,075 | -25,075 | -33,217 | -47,855 | -166,085 | -239,275 | -564,689 | -830,425 | -2,823,445 | -14,117,225 |
