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 14,123,305, 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 | 14,123,305 | |
| -1 | -14,123,305 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,123,305.
Example:
1 x 14,123,305 = 14,123,305
and
-1 x -14,123,305 = 14,123,305
Notice both answers equal 14,123,305
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,123,305 and divide it by 2:
14,123,305 ÷ 2 = 7,061,652.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,061,652.5 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 | 14,123,305 | |
| -1 | -14,123,305 |
Now, we try dividing 14,123,305 by 3:
14,123,305 ÷ 3 = 4,707,768.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,707,768.3333 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 | 14,123,305 | |
| -1 | -14,123,305 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,123,305 ÷ 4 = 3,530,826.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,530,826.25 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 | 14,123,305 | |
| -1 | 14,123,305 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 113 | 565 | 791 | 3,571 | 3,955 | 17,855 | 24,997 | 124,985 | 403,523 | 2,017,615 | 2,824,661 | 14,123,305 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -113 | -565 | -791 | -3,571 | -3,955 | -17,855 | -24,997 | -124,985 | -403,523 | -2,017,615 | -2,824,661 | -14,123,305 |
