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 14,166,559, 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 | 14,166,559 | |
| -1 | -14,166,559 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,166,559.
Example:
1 x 14,166,559 = 14,166,559
and
-1 x -14,166,559 = 14,166,559
Notice both answers equal 14,166,559
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,166,559 and divide it by 2:
14,166,559 ÷ 2 = 7,083,279.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,083,279.5 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 | 14,166,559 | |
| -1 | -14,166,559 |
Now, we try dividing 14,166,559 by 3:
14,166,559 ÷ 3 = 4,722,186.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,722,186.3333 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 | 14,166,559 | |
| -1 | -14,166,559 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,166,559 ÷ 4 = 3,541,639.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,541,639.75 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 | 14,166,559 | |
| -1 | 14,166,559 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 71 | 97 | 121 | 187 | 781 | 1,067 | 1,207 | 1,649 | 2,057 | 6,887 | 8,591 | 11,737 | 13,277 | 18,139 | 75,757 | 117,079 | 146,047 | 199,529 | 833,327 | 1,287,869 | 14,166,559 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -71 | -97 | -121 | -187 | -781 | -1,067 | -1,207 | -1,649 | -2,057 | -6,887 | -8,591 | -11,737 | -13,277 | -18,139 | -75,757 | -117,079 | -146,047 | -199,529 | -833,327 | -1,287,869 | -14,166,559 |
