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 14,314,349, 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 | 14,314,349 | |
| -1 | -14,314,349 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,314,349.
Example:
1 x 14,314,349 = 14,314,349
and
-1 x -14,314,349 = 14,314,349
Notice both answers equal 14,314,349
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,314,349 and divide it by 2:
14,314,349 ÷ 2 = 7,157,174.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,157,174.5 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 | 14,314,349 | |
| -1 | -14,314,349 |
Now, we try dividing 14,314,349 by 3:
14,314,349 ÷ 3 = 4,771,449.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,771,449.6667 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 | 14,314,349 | |
| -1 | -14,314,349 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,314,349 ÷ 4 = 3,578,587.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,578,587.25 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 | 14,314,349 | |
| -1 | 14,314,349 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 67 | 161 | 469 | 1,327 | 1,541 | 9,289 | 10,787 | 30,521 | 88,909 | 213,647 | 622,363 | 2,044,907 | 14,314,349 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -67 | -161 | -469 | -1,327 | -1,541 | -9,289 | -10,787 | -30,521 | -88,909 | -213,647 | -622,363 | -2,044,907 | -14,314,349 |
