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 14,544,707, 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 | 14,544,707 | |
| -1 | -14,544,707 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,544,707.
Example:
1 x 14,544,707 = 14,544,707
and
-1 x -14,544,707 = 14,544,707
Notice both answers equal 14,544,707
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,544,707 and divide it by 2:
14,544,707 ÷ 2 = 7,272,353.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,272,353.5 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 | 14,544,707 | |
| -1 | -14,544,707 |
Now, we try dividing 14,544,707 by 3:
14,544,707 ÷ 3 = 4,848,235.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,848,235.6667 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 | 14,544,707 | |
| -1 | -14,544,707 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,544,707 ÷ 4 = 3,636,176.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,636,176.75 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 | 14,544,707 | |
| -1 | 14,544,707 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 43 | 101 | 197 | 731 | 1,717 | 3,349 | 4,343 | 8,471 | 19,897 | 73,831 | 144,007 | 338,249 | 855,571 | 14,544,707 |
| -1 | -17 | -43 | -101 | -197 | -731 | -1,717 | -3,349 | -4,343 | -8,471 | -19,897 | -73,831 | -144,007 | -338,249 | -855,571 | -14,544,707 |
