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 14,221,061, 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 | 14,221,061 | |
| -1 | -14,221,061 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,221,061.
Example:
1 x 14,221,061 = 14,221,061
and
-1 x -14,221,061 = 14,221,061
Notice both answers equal 14,221,061
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,221,061 and divide it by 2:
14,221,061 ÷ 2 = 7,110,530.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,110,530.5 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 | 14,221,061 | |
| -1 | -14,221,061 |
Now, we try dividing 14,221,061 by 3:
14,221,061 ÷ 3 = 4,740,353.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,740,353.6667 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 | 14,221,061 | |
| -1 | -14,221,061 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,221,061 ÷ 4 = 3,555,265.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,555,265.25 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 | 14,221,061 | |
| -1 | 14,221,061 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 37 | 391 | 629 | 851 | 983 | 14,467 | 16,711 | 22,609 | 36,371 | 384,353 | 618,307 | 836,533 | 14,221,061 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -37 | -391 | -629 | -851 | -983 | -14,467 | -16,711 | -22,609 | -36,371 | -384,353 | -618,307 | -836,533 | -14,221,061 |
