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 14,307,895, 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 | 14,307,895 | |
| -1 | -14,307,895 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,307,895.
Example:
1 x 14,307,895 = 14,307,895
and
-1 x -14,307,895 = 14,307,895
Notice both answers equal 14,307,895
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,307,895 and divide it by 2:
14,307,895 ÷ 2 = 7,153,947.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,153,947.5 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 | 14,307,895 | |
| -1 | -14,307,895 |
Now, we try dividing 14,307,895 by 3:
14,307,895 ÷ 3 = 4,769,298.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,769,298.3333 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 | 14,307,895 | |
| -1 | -14,307,895 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,307,895 ÷ 4 = 3,576,973.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,576,973.75 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 | 14,307,895 | |
| -1 | 14,307,895 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 13,187 | 65,935 | 92,309 | 408,797 | 461,545 | 2,043,985 | 2,861,579 | 14,307,895 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -13,187 | -65,935 | -92,309 | -408,797 | -461,545 | -2,043,985 | -2,861,579 | -14,307,895 |
