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 14,500,591, 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 | 14,500,591 | |
| -1 | -14,500,591 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,500,591.
Example:
1 x 14,500,591 = 14,500,591
and
-1 x -14,500,591 = 14,500,591
Notice both answers equal 14,500,591
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,500,591 and divide it by 2:
14,500,591 ÷ 2 = 7,250,295.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,250,295.5 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 | 14,500,591 | |
| -1 | -14,500,591 |
Now, we try dividing 14,500,591 by 3:
14,500,591 ÷ 3 = 4,833,530.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,833,530.3333 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 | 14,500,591 | |
| -1 | -14,500,591 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,500,591 ÷ 4 = 3,625,147.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,625,147.75 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 | 14,500,591 | |
| -1 | 14,500,591 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 31 | 133 | 217 | 589 | 3,517 | 4,123 | 24,619 | 66,823 | 109,027 | 467,761 | 763,189 | 2,071,513 | 14,500,591 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -31 | -133 | -217 | -589 | -3,517 | -4,123 | -24,619 | -66,823 | -109,027 | -467,761 | -763,189 | -2,071,513 | -14,500,591 |
