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 14,331,275, 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 | 14,331,275 | |
| -1 | -14,331,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,331,275.
Example:
1 x 14,331,275 = 14,331,275
and
-1 x -14,331,275 = 14,331,275
Notice both answers equal 14,331,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,331,275 and divide it by 2:
14,331,275 ÷ 2 = 7,165,637.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,165,637.5 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 | 14,331,275 | |
| -1 | -14,331,275 |
Now, we try dividing 14,331,275 by 3:
14,331,275 ÷ 3 = 4,777,091.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,777,091.6667 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 | 14,331,275 | |
| -1 | -14,331,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,331,275 ÷ 4 = 3,582,818.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,582,818.75 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 | 14,331,275 | |
| -1 | 14,331,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 1,225 | 11,699 | 58,495 | 81,893 | 292,475 | 409,465 | 573,251 | 2,047,325 | 2,866,255 | 14,331,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -1,225 | -11,699 | -58,495 | -81,893 | -292,475 | -409,465 | -573,251 | -2,047,325 | -2,866,255 | -14,331,275 |
