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 14,351,315, 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 | 14,351,315 | |
| -1 | -14,351,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,351,315.
Example:
1 x 14,351,315 = 14,351,315
and
-1 x -14,351,315 = 14,351,315
Notice both answers equal 14,351,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,351,315 and divide it by 2:
14,351,315 ÷ 2 = 7,175,657.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,175,657.5 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 | 14,351,315 | |
| -1 | -14,351,315 |
Now, we try dividing 14,351,315 by 3:
14,351,315 ÷ 3 = 4,783,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,783,771.6667 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 | 14,351,315 | |
| -1 | -14,351,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,351,315 ÷ 4 = 3,587,828.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,587,828.75 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 | 14,351,315 | |
| -1 | 14,351,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 935 | 15,349 | 76,745 | 168,839 | 260,933 | 844,195 | 1,304,665 | 2,870,263 | 14,351,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -935 | -15,349 | -76,745 | -168,839 | -260,933 | -844,195 | -1,304,665 | -2,870,263 | -14,351,315 |
