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 14,185,549, 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 | 14,185,549 | |
| -1 | -14,185,549 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,185,549.
Example:
1 x 14,185,549 = 14,185,549
and
-1 x -14,185,549 = 14,185,549
Notice both answers equal 14,185,549
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,185,549 and divide it by 2:
14,185,549 ÷ 2 = 7,092,774.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,092,774.5 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 | 14,185,549 | |
| -1 | -14,185,549 |
Now, we try dividing 14,185,549 by 3:
14,185,549 ÷ 3 = 4,728,516.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,728,516.3333 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 | 14,185,549 | |
| -1 | -14,185,549 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,185,549 ÷ 4 = 3,546,387.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,546,387.25 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 | 14,185,549 | |
| -1 | 14,185,549 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 41 | 49 | 161 | 287 | 307 | 943 | 1,127 | 2,009 | 2,149 | 6,601 | 7,061 | 12,587 | 15,043 | 46,207 | 49,427 | 88,109 | 289,501 | 345,989 | 616,763 | 2,026,507 | 14,185,549 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -41 | -49 | -161 | -287 | -307 | -943 | -1,127 | -2,009 | -2,149 | -6,601 | -7,061 | -12,587 | -15,043 | -46,207 | -49,427 | -88,109 | -289,501 | -345,989 | -616,763 | -2,026,507 | -14,185,549 |
