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 14,195,425, 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 | 14,195,425 | |
| -1 | -14,195,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,195,425.
Example:
1 x 14,195,425 = 14,195,425
and
-1 x -14,195,425 = 14,195,425
Notice both answers equal 14,195,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,195,425 and divide it by 2:
14,195,425 ÷ 2 = 7,097,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,097,712.5 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 | 14,195,425 | |
| -1 | -14,195,425 |
Now, we try dividing 14,195,425 by 3:
14,195,425 ÷ 3 = 4,731,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,731,808.3333 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 | 14,195,425 | |
| -1 | -14,195,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,195,425 ÷ 4 = 3,548,856.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,548,856.25 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 | 14,195,425 | |
| -1 | 14,195,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 25 | 85 | 127 | 263 | 425 | 635 | 1,315 | 2,159 | 3,175 | 4,471 | 6,575 | 10,795 | 22,355 | 33,401 | 53,975 | 111,775 | 167,005 | 567,817 | 835,025 | 2,839,085 | 14,195,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -25 | -85 | -127 | -263 | -425 | -635 | -1,315 | -2,159 | -3,175 | -4,471 | -6,575 | -10,795 | -22,355 | -33,401 | -53,975 | -111,775 | -167,005 | -567,817 | -835,025 | -2,839,085 | -14,195,425 |
