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 14,312,035, 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 | 14,312,035 | |
| -1 | -14,312,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,312,035.
Example:
1 x 14,312,035 = 14,312,035
and
-1 x -14,312,035 = 14,312,035
Notice both answers equal 14,312,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,312,035 and divide it by 2:
14,312,035 ÷ 2 = 7,156,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,156,017.5 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 | 14,312,035 | |
| -1 | -14,312,035 |
Now, we try dividing 14,312,035 by 3:
14,312,035 ÷ 3 = 4,770,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,770,678.3333 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 | 14,312,035 | |
| -1 | -14,312,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,312,035 ÷ 4 = 3,578,008.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,578,008.75 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 | 14,312,035 | |
| -1 | 14,312,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 79 | 95 | 395 | 1,501 | 1,907 | 7,505 | 9,535 | 36,233 | 150,653 | 181,165 | 753,265 | 2,862,407 | 14,312,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -79 | -95 | -395 | -1,501 | -1,907 | -7,505 | -9,535 | -36,233 | -150,653 | -181,165 | -753,265 | -2,862,407 | -14,312,035 |
