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 14,351,723, 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 | 14,351,723 | |
| -1 | -14,351,723 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,351,723.
Example:
1 x 14,351,723 = 14,351,723
and
-1 x -14,351,723 = 14,351,723
Notice both answers equal 14,351,723
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,351,723 and divide it by 2:
14,351,723 ÷ 2 = 7,175,861.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,175,861.5 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 | 14,351,723 | |
| -1 | -14,351,723 |
Now, we try dividing 14,351,723 by 3:
14,351,723 ÷ 3 = 4,783,907.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,783,907.6667 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 | 14,351,723 | |
| -1 | -14,351,723 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,351,723 ÷ 4 = 3,587,930.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,587,930.75 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 | 14,351,723 | |
| -1 | 14,351,723 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 29 | 43 | 493 | 677 | 731 | 1,247 | 11,509 | 19,633 | 21,199 | 29,111 | 333,761 | 494,887 | 844,219 | 14,351,723 |
| -1 | -17 | -29 | -43 | -493 | -677 | -731 | -1,247 | -11,509 | -19,633 | -21,199 | -29,111 | -333,761 | -494,887 | -844,219 | -14,351,723 |
