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 14,523,523, 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 | 14,523,523 | |
| -1 | -14,523,523 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,523,523.
Example:
1 x 14,523,523 = 14,523,523
and
-1 x -14,523,523 = 14,523,523
Notice both answers equal 14,523,523
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,523,523 and divide it by 2:
14,523,523 ÷ 2 = 7,261,761.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,261,761.5 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 | 14,523,523 | |
| -1 | -14,523,523 |
Now, we try dividing 14,523,523 by 3:
14,523,523 ÷ 3 = 4,841,174.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,841,174.3333 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 | 14,523,523 | |
| -1 | -14,523,523 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,523,523 ÷ 4 = 3,630,880.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,630,880.75 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 | 14,523,523 | |
| -1 | 14,523,523 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 67 | 173 | 179 | 469 | 1,211 | 1,253 | 11,591 | 11,993 | 30,967 | 81,137 | 83,951 | 216,769 | 2,074,789 | 14,523,523 |
| -1 | -7 | -67 | -173 | -179 | -469 | -1,211 | -1,253 | -11,591 | -11,993 | -30,967 | -81,137 | -83,951 | -216,769 | -2,074,789 | -14,523,523 |
