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 14,323,315, 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 | 14,323,315 | |
| -1 | -14,323,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,323,315.
Example:
1 x 14,323,315 = 14,323,315
and
-1 x -14,323,315 = 14,323,315
Notice both answers equal 14,323,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,323,315 and divide it by 2:
14,323,315 ÷ 2 = 7,161,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,161,657.5 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 | 14,323,315 | |
| -1 | -14,323,315 |
Now, we try dividing 14,323,315 by 3:
14,323,315 ÷ 3 = 4,774,438.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,774,438.3333 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 | 14,323,315 | |
| -1 | -14,323,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,323,315 ÷ 4 = 3,580,828.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,580,828.75 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 | 14,323,315 | |
| -1 | 14,323,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 101 | 113 | 251 | 505 | 565 | 1,255 | 11,413 | 25,351 | 28,363 | 57,065 | 126,755 | 141,815 | 2,864,663 | 14,323,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -101 | -113 | -251 | -505 | -565 | -1,255 | -11,413 | -25,351 | -28,363 | -57,065 | -126,755 | -141,815 | -2,864,663 | -14,323,315 |
