How do I find the factor combinations of the number 14,533,351?

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 14,533,351, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 14,533,351
-1 -14,533,351

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,533,351.

Example:
1 x 14,533,351 = 14,533,351
and
-1 x -14,533,351 = 14,533,351
Notice both answers equal 14,533,351

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,533,351 and divide it by 2:

14,533,351 ÷ 2 = 7,266,675.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,266,675.5 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 14,533,351
-1 -14,533,351

Now, we try dividing 14,533,351 by 3:

14,533,351 ÷ 3 = 4,844,450.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,844,450.3333 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 14,533,351
-1 -14,533,351

Let's try dividing by 4:

14,533,351 ÷ 4 = 3,633,337.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,633,337.75 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 14,533,351
-1 14,533,351
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

171749731192395118331,2411,6733,5774,0638,68711,71117,44728,44160,809122,129199,087296,599854,9032,076,19314,533,351
