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 14,424,641, 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 | 14,424,641 | |
| -1 | -14,424,641 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,424,641.
Example:
1 x 14,424,641 = 14,424,641
and
-1 x -14,424,641 = 14,424,641
Notice both answers equal 14,424,641
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,424,641 and divide it by 2:
14,424,641 ÷ 2 = 7,212,320.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,212,320.5 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 | 14,424,641 | |
| -1 | -14,424,641 |
Now, we try dividing 14,424,641 by 3:
14,424,641 ÷ 3 = 4,808,213.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,808,213.6667 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 | 14,424,641 | |
| -1 | -14,424,641 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,424,641 ÷ 4 = 3,606,160.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,606,160.25 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 | 14,424,641 | |
| -1 | 14,424,641 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 31 | 77 | 217 | 341 | 2,387 | 6,043 | 42,301 | 66,473 | 187,333 | 465,311 | 1,311,331 | 2,060,663 | 14,424,641 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -31 | -77 | -217 | -341 | -2,387 | -6,043 | -42,301 | -66,473 | -187,333 | -465,311 | -1,311,331 | -2,060,663 | -14,424,641 |
