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 14,166,295, 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 | 14,166,295 | |
| -1 | -14,166,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,166,295.
Example:
1 x 14,166,295 = 14,166,295
and
-1 x -14,166,295 = 14,166,295
Notice both answers equal 14,166,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,166,295 and divide it by 2:
14,166,295 ÷ 2 = 7,083,147.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,083,147.5 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 | 14,166,295 | |
| -1 | -14,166,295 |
Now, we try dividing 14,166,295 by 3:
14,166,295 ÷ 3 = 4,722,098.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,722,098.3333 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 | 14,166,295 | |
| -1 | -14,166,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,166,295 ÷ 4 = 3,541,573.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,541,573.75 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 | 14,166,295 | |
| -1 | 14,166,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 13 | 55 | 65 | 143 | 715 | 19,813 | 99,065 | 217,943 | 257,569 | 1,089,715 | 1,287,845 | 2,833,259 | 14,166,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -13 | -55 | -65 | -143 | -715 | -19,813 | -99,065 | -217,943 | -257,569 | -1,089,715 | -1,287,845 | -2,833,259 | -14,166,295 |
