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 14,274,667, 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 | 14,274,667 | |
| -1 | -14,274,667 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,274,667.
Example:
1 x 14,274,667 = 14,274,667
and
-1 x -14,274,667 = 14,274,667
Notice both answers equal 14,274,667
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,274,667 and divide it by 2:
14,274,667 ÷ 2 = 7,137,333.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,137,333.5 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 | 14,274,667 | |
| -1 | -14,274,667 |
Now, we try dividing 14,274,667 by 3:
14,274,667 ÷ 3 = 4,758,222.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,758,222.3333 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 | 14,274,667 | |
| -1 | -14,274,667 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,274,667 ÷ 4 = 3,568,666.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,568,666.75 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 | 14,274,667 | |
| -1 | 14,274,667 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 43 | 103 | 293 | 473 | 1,133 | 3,223 | 4,429 | 12,599 | 30,179 | 48,719 | 138,589 | 331,969 | 1,297,697 | 14,274,667 |
| -1 | -11 | -43 | -103 | -293 | -473 | -1,133 | -3,223 | -4,429 | -12,599 | -30,179 | -48,719 | -138,589 | -331,969 | -1,297,697 | -14,274,667 |
