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 14,488,565, 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 | 14,488,565 | |
| -1 | -14,488,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,488,565.
Example:
1 x 14,488,565 = 14,488,565
and
-1 x -14,488,565 = 14,488,565
Notice both answers equal 14,488,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,488,565 and divide it by 2:
14,488,565 ÷ 2 = 7,244,282.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,244,282.5 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 | 14,488,565 | |
| -1 | -14,488,565 |
Now, we try dividing 14,488,565 by 3:
14,488,565 ÷ 3 = 4,829,521.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,829,521.6667 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 | 14,488,565 | |
| -1 | -14,488,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,488,565 ÷ 4 = 3,622,141.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,622,141.25 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 | 14,488,565 | |
| -1 | 14,488,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 49 | 65 | 91 | 245 | 455 | 637 | 3,185 | 4,549 | 22,745 | 31,843 | 59,137 | 159,215 | 222,901 | 295,685 | 413,959 | 1,114,505 | 2,069,795 | 2,897,713 | 14,488,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -49 | -65 | -91 | -245 | -455 | -637 | -3,185 | -4,549 | -22,745 | -31,843 | -59,137 | -159,215 | -222,901 | -295,685 | -413,959 | -1,114,505 | -2,069,795 | -2,897,713 | -14,488,565 |
