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 14,316,785, 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 | 14,316,785 | |
| -1 | -14,316,785 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,316,785.
Example:
1 x 14,316,785 = 14,316,785
and
-1 x -14,316,785 = 14,316,785
Notice both answers equal 14,316,785
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,316,785 and divide it by 2:
14,316,785 ÷ 2 = 7,158,392.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,158,392.5 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 | 14,316,785 | |
| -1 | -14,316,785 |
Now, we try dividing 14,316,785 by 3:
14,316,785 ÷ 3 = 4,772,261.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,772,261.6667 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 | 14,316,785 | |
| -1 | -14,316,785 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,316,785 ÷ 4 = 3,579,196.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,579,196.25 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 | 14,316,785 | |
| -1 | 14,316,785 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 21,529 | 107,645 | 150,703 | 409,051 | 753,515 | 2,045,255 | 2,863,357 | 14,316,785 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -21,529 | -107,645 | -150,703 | -409,051 | -753,515 | -2,045,255 | -2,863,357 | -14,316,785 |
