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 14,225,063, 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 | 14,225,063 | |
| -1 | -14,225,063 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,225,063.
Example:
1 x 14,225,063 = 14,225,063
and
-1 x -14,225,063 = 14,225,063
Notice both answers equal 14,225,063
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,225,063 and divide it by 2:
14,225,063 ÷ 2 = 7,112,531.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,112,531.5 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 | 14,225,063 | |
| -1 | -14,225,063 |
Now, we try dividing 14,225,063 by 3:
14,225,063 ÷ 3 = 4,741,687.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,741,687.6667 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 | 14,225,063 | |
| -1 | -14,225,063 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,225,063 ÷ 4 = 3,556,265.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,556,265.75 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 | 14,225,063 | |
| -1 | 14,225,063 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 31 | 71 | 281 | 713 | 1,633 | 2,201 | 6,463 | 8,711 | 19,951 | 50,623 | 200,353 | 458,873 | 618,481 | 14,225,063 |
| -1 | -23 | -31 | -71 | -281 | -713 | -1,633 | -2,201 | -6,463 | -8,711 | -19,951 | -50,623 | -200,353 | -458,873 | -618,481 | -14,225,063 |
