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 14,234,635, 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 | 14,234,635 | |
| -1 | -14,234,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,234,635.
Example:
1 x 14,234,635 = 14,234,635
and
-1 x -14,234,635 = 14,234,635
Notice both answers equal 14,234,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,234,635 and divide it by 2:
14,234,635 ÷ 2 = 7,117,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,117,317.5 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 | 14,234,635 | |
| -1 | -14,234,635 |
Now, we try dividing 14,234,635 by 3:
14,234,635 ÷ 3 = 4,744,878.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,744,878.3333 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 | 14,234,635 | |
| -1 | -14,234,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,234,635 ÷ 4 = 3,558,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,558,658.75 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 | 14,234,635 | |
| -1 | 14,234,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 73 | 295 | 365 | 661 | 3,305 | 4,307 | 21,535 | 38,999 | 48,253 | 194,995 | 241,265 | 2,846,927 | 14,234,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -73 | -295 | -365 | -661 | -3,305 | -4,307 | -21,535 | -38,999 | -48,253 | -194,995 | -241,265 | -2,846,927 | -14,234,635 |
