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 14,476,039, 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 | 14,476,039 | |
| -1 | -14,476,039 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,476,039.
Example:
1 x 14,476,039 = 14,476,039
and
-1 x -14,476,039 = 14,476,039
Notice both answers equal 14,476,039
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,476,039 and divide it by 2:
14,476,039 ÷ 2 = 7,238,019.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,238,019.5 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 | 14,476,039 | |
| -1 | -14,476,039 |
Now, we try dividing 14,476,039 by 3:
14,476,039 ÷ 3 = 4,825,346.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,825,346.3333 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 | 14,476,039 | |
| -1 | -14,476,039 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,476,039 ÷ 4 = 3,619,009.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,619,009.75 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 | 14,476,039 | |
| -1 | 14,476,039 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 23 | 31 | 79 | 257 | 713 | 1,817 | 2,449 | 5,911 | 7,967 | 20,303 | 56,327 | 183,241 | 466,969 | 629,393 | 14,476,039 |
| -1 | -23 | -31 | -79 | -257 | -713 | -1,817 | -2,449 | -5,911 | -7,967 | -20,303 | -56,327 | -183,241 | -466,969 | -629,393 | -14,476,039 |
