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 14,436,935, 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 | 14,436,935 | |
| -1 | -14,436,935 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,436,935.
Example:
1 x 14,436,935 = 14,436,935
and
-1 x -14,436,935 = 14,436,935
Notice both answers equal 14,436,935
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,436,935 and divide it by 2:
14,436,935 ÷ 2 = 7,218,467.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,218,467.5 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 | 14,436,935 | |
| -1 | -14,436,935 |
Now, we try dividing 14,436,935 by 3:
14,436,935 ÷ 3 = 4,812,311.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,812,311.6667 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 | 14,436,935 | |
| -1 | -14,436,935 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,436,935 ÷ 4 = 3,609,233.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,609,233.75 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 | 14,436,935 | |
| -1 | 14,436,935 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 157 | 265 | 347 | 785 | 1,735 | 8,321 | 18,391 | 41,605 | 54,479 | 91,955 | 272,395 | 2,887,387 | 14,436,935 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -157 | -265 | -347 | -785 | -1,735 | -8,321 | -18,391 | -41,605 | -54,479 | -91,955 | -272,395 | -2,887,387 | -14,436,935 |
