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 14,355,125, 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 | 14,355,125 | |
| -1 | -14,355,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,355,125.
Example:
1 x 14,355,125 = 14,355,125
and
-1 x -14,355,125 = 14,355,125
Notice both answers equal 14,355,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,355,125 and divide it by 2:
14,355,125 ÷ 2 = 7,177,562.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,177,562.5 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 | 14,355,125 | |
| -1 | -14,355,125 |
Now, we try dividing 14,355,125 by 3:
14,355,125 ÷ 3 = 4,785,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,785,041.6667 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 | 14,355,125 | |
| -1 | -14,355,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,355,125 ÷ 4 = 3,588,781.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,588,781.25 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 | 14,355,125 | |
| -1 | 14,355,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 41 | 125 | 205 | 1,025 | 2,801 | 5,125 | 14,005 | 70,025 | 114,841 | 350,125 | 574,205 | 2,871,025 | 14,355,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -41 | -125 | -205 | -1,025 | -2,801 | -5,125 | -14,005 | -70,025 | -114,841 | -350,125 | -574,205 | -2,871,025 | -14,355,125 |
