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 14,250,731, 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 | 14,250,731 | |
| -1 | -14,250,731 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,250,731.
Example:
1 x 14,250,731 = 14,250,731
and
-1 x -14,250,731 = 14,250,731
Notice both answers equal 14,250,731
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,250,731 and divide it by 2:
14,250,731 ÷ 2 = 7,125,365.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,125,365.5 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 | 14,250,731 | |
| -1 | -14,250,731 |
Now, we try dividing 14,250,731 by 3:
14,250,731 ÷ 3 = 4,750,243.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,750,243.6667 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 | 14,250,731 | |
| -1 | -14,250,731 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,250,731 ÷ 4 = 3,562,682.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,562,682.75 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 | 14,250,731 | |
| -1 | 14,250,731 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 31 | 79 | 253 | 341 | 529 | 713 | 869 | 1,817 | 2,449 | 5,819 | 7,843 | 16,399 | 19,987 | 26,939 | 41,791 | 56,327 | 180,389 | 459,701 | 619,597 | 1,295,521 | 14,250,731 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -31 | -79 | -253 | -341 | -529 | -713 | -869 | -1,817 | -2,449 | -5,819 | -7,843 | -16,399 | -19,987 | -26,939 | -41,791 | -56,327 | -180,389 | -459,701 | -619,597 | -1,295,521 | -14,250,731 |
