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 14,442,415, 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 | 14,442,415 | |
| -1 | -14,442,415 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,442,415.
Example:
1 x 14,442,415 = 14,442,415
and
-1 x -14,442,415 = 14,442,415
Notice both answers equal 14,442,415
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,442,415 and divide it by 2:
14,442,415 ÷ 2 = 7,221,207.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,221,207.5 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 | 14,442,415 | |
| -1 | -14,442,415 |
Now, we try dividing 14,442,415 by 3:
14,442,415 ÷ 3 = 4,814,138.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,814,138.3333 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 | 14,442,415 | |
| -1 | -14,442,415 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,442,415 ÷ 4 = 3,610,603.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,610,603.75 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 | 14,442,415 | |
| -1 | 14,442,415 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 83 | 415 | 1,079 | 2,677 | 5,395 | 13,385 | 34,801 | 174,005 | 222,191 | 1,110,955 | 2,888,483 | 14,442,415 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -83 | -415 | -1,079 | -2,677 | -5,395 | -13,385 | -34,801 | -174,005 | -222,191 | -1,110,955 | -2,888,483 | -14,442,415 |
