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 14,454,401, 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 | 14,454,401 | |
| -1 | -14,454,401 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,454,401.
Example:
1 x 14,454,401 = 14,454,401
and
-1 x -14,454,401 = 14,454,401
Notice both answers equal 14,454,401
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,454,401 and divide it by 2:
14,454,401 ÷ 2 = 7,227,200.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,227,200.5 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 | 14,454,401 | |
| -1 | -14,454,401 |
Now, we try dividing 14,454,401 by 3:
14,454,401 ÷ 3 = 4,818,133.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,818,133.6667 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 | 14,454,401 | |
| -1 | -14,454,401 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,454,401 ÷ 4 = 3,613,600.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,613,600.25 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 | 14,454,401 | |
| -1 | 14,454,401 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 89 | 169 | 403 | 961 | 1,157 | 2,759 | 5,239 | 12,493 | 15,041 | 35,867 | 85,529 | 162,409 | 466,271 | 1,111,877 | 14,454,401 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -89 | -169 | -403 | -961 | -1,157 | -2,759 | -5,239 | -12,493 | -15,041 | -35,867 | -85,529 | -162,409 | -466,271 | -1,111,877 | -14,454,401 |
