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 14,335,573, 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 | 14,335,573 | |
| -1 | -14,335,573 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,335,573.
Example:
1 x 14,335,573 = 14,335,573
and
-1 x -14,335,573 = 14,335,573
Notice both answers equal 14,335,573
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,335,573 and divide it by 2:
14,335,573 ÷ 2 = 7,167,786.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,167,786.5 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 | 14,335,573 | |
| -1 | -14,335,573 |
Now, we try dividing 14,335,573 by 3:
14,335,573 ÷ 3 = 4,778,524.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,778,524.3333 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 | 14,335,573 | |
| -1 | -14,335,573 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,335,573 ÷ 4 = 3,583,893.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,583,893.25 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 | 14,335,573 | |
| -1 | 14,335,573 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 179 | 673 | 1,253 | 3,043 | 4,711 | 11,441 | 21,301 | 80,087 | 120,467 | 843,269 | 2,047,939 | 14,335,573 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -179 | -673 | -1,253 | -3,043 | -4,711 | -11,441 | -21,301 | -80,087 | -120,467 | -843,269 | -2,047,939 | -14,335,573 |
