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 14,156,165, 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 | 14,156,165 | |
| -1 | -14,156,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,156,165.
Example:
1 x 14,156,165 = 14,156,165
and
-1 x -14,156,165 = 14,156,165
Notice both answers equal 14,156,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,156,165 and divide it by 2:
14,156,165 ÷ 2 = 7,078,082.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,078,082.5 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 | 14,156,165 | |
| -1 | -14,156,165 |
Now, we try dividing 14,156,165 by 3:
14,156,165 ÷ 3 = 4,718,721.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,718,721.6667 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 | 14,156,165 | |
| -1 | -14,156,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,156,165 ÷ 4 = 3,539,041.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,539,041.25 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 | 14,156,165 | |
| -1 | 14,156,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 59 | 235 | 295 | 1,021 | 2,773 | 5,105 | 13,865 | 47,987 | 60,239 | 239,935 | 301,195 | 2,831,233 | 14,156,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -59 | -235 | -295 | -1,021 | -2,773 | -5,105 | -13,865 | -47,987 | -60,239 | -239,935 | -301,195 | -2,831,233 | -14,156,165 |
