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 14,310,835, 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 | 14,310,835 | |
| -1 | -14,310,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,310,835.
Example:
1 x 14,310,835 = 14,310,835
and
-1 x -14,310,835 = 14,310,835
Notice both answers equal 14,310,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,310,835 and divide it by 2:
14,310,835 ÷ 2 = 7,155,417.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,155,417.5 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 | 14,310,835 | |
| -1 | -14,310,835 |
Now, we try dividing 14,310,835 by 3:
14,310,835 ÷ 3 = 4,770,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,770,278.3333 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 | 14,310,835 | |
| -1 | -14,310,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,310,835 ÷ 4 = 3,577,708.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,577,708.75 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 | 14,310,835 | |
| -1 | 14,310,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 37,171 | 185,855 | 260,197 | 408,881 | 1,300,985 | 2,044,405 | 2,862,167 | 14,310,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -37,171 | -185,855 | -260,197 | -408,881 | -1,300,985 | -2,044,405 | -2,862,167 | -14,310,835 |
