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 14,368,783, 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 | 14,368,783 | |
| -1 | -14,368,783 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,368,783.
Example:
1 x 14,368,783 = 14,368,783
and
-1 x -14,368,783 = 14,368,783
Notice both answers equal 14,368,783
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,368,783 and divide it by 2:
14,368,783 ÷ 2 = 7,184,391.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,184,391.5 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 | 14,368,783 | |
| -1 | -14,368,783 |
Now, we try dividing 14,368,783 by 3:
14,368,783 ÷ 3 = 4,789,594.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,789,594.3333 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 | 14,368,783 | |
| -1 | -14,368,783 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,368,783 ÷ 4 = 3,592,195.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,592,195.75 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 | 14,368,783 | |
| -1 | 14,368,783 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 89 | 143 | 979 | 1,129 | 1,157 | 12,419 | 12,727 | 14,677 | 100,481 | 161,447 | 1,105,291 | 1,306,253 | 14,368,783 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -89 | -143 | -979 | -1,129 | -1,157 | -12,419 | -12,727 | -14,677 | -100,481 | -161,447 | -1,105,291 | -1,306,253 | -14,368,783 |
