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 14,461,223, 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 | 14,461,223 | |
| -1 | -14,461,223 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,461,223.
Example:
1 x 14,461,223 = 14,461,223
and
-1 x -14,461,223 = 14,461,223
Notice both answers equal 14,461,223
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,461,223 and divide it by 2:
14,461,223 ÷ 2 = 7,230,611.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,230,611.5 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 | 14,461,223 | |
| -1 | -14,461,223 |
Now, we try dividing 14,461,223 by 3:
14,461,223 ÷ 3 = 4,820,407.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,820,407.6667 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 | 14,461,223 | |
| -1 | -14,461,223 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,461,223 ÷ 4 = 3,615,305.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,615,305.75 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 | 14,461,223 | |
| -1 | 14,461,223 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 49 | 133 | 317 | 343 | 931 | 2,219 | 2,401 | 6,023 | 6,517 | 15,533 | 42,161 | 45,619 | 108,731 | 295,127 | 761,117 | 2,065,889 | 14,461,223 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -49 | -133 | -317 | -343 | -931 | -2,219 | -2,401 | -6,023 | -6,517 | -15,533 | -42,161 | -45,619 | -108,731 | -295,127 | -761,117 | -2,065,889 | -14,461,223 |
