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 14,204,723, 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 | 14,204,723 | |
| -1 | -14,204,723 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,204,723.
Example:
1 x 14,204,723 = 14,204,723
and
-1 x -14,204,723 = 14,204,723
Notice both answers equal 14,204,723
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,204,723 and divide it by 2:
14,204,723 ÷ 2 = 7,102,361.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,102,361.5 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 | 14,204,723 | |
| -1 | -14,204,723 |
Now, we try dividing 14,204,723 by 3:
14,204,723 ÷ 3 = 4,734,907.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,734,907.6667 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 | 14,204,723 | |
| -1 | -14,204,723 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,204,723 ÷ 4 = 3,551,180.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,551,180.75 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 | 14,204,723 | |
| -1 | 14,204,723 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 131 | 247 | 439 | 1,703 | 2,489 | 5,707 | 8,341 | 32,357 | 57,509 | 108,433 | 747,617 | 1,092,671 | 14,204,723 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -131 | -247 | -439 | -1,703 | -2,489 | -5,707 | -8,341 | -32,357 | -57,509 | -108,433 | -747,617 | -1,092,671 | -14,204,723 |
