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 14,264,515, 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 | 14,264,515 | |
| -1 | -14,264,515 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,264,515.
Example:
1 x 14,264,515 = 14,264,515
and
-1 x -14,264,515 = 14,264,515
Notice both answers equal 14,264,515
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,264,515 and divide it by 2:
14,264,515 ÷ 2 = 7,132,257.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,132,257.5 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 | 14,264,515 | |
| -1 | -14,264,515 |
Now, we try dividing 14,264,515 by 3:
14,264,515 ÷ 3 = 4,754,838.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,754,838.3333 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 | 14,264,515 | |
| -1 | -14,264,515 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,264,515 ÷ 4 = 3,566,128.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,566,128.75 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 | 14,264,515 | |
| -1 | 14,264,515 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 149 | 205 | 467 | 745 | 2,335 | 6,109 | 19,147 | 30,545 | 69,583 | 95,735 | 347,915 | 2,852,903 | 14,264,515 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -149 | -205 | -467 | -745 | -2,335 | -6,109 | -19,147 | -30,545 | -69,583 | -95,735 | -347,915 | -2,852,903 | -14,264,515 |
