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 14,561,575, 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 | 14,561,575 | |
| -1 | -14,561,575 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,561,575.
Example:
1 x 14,561,575 = 14,561,575
and
-1 x -14,561,575 = 14,561,575
Notice both answers equal 14,561,575
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,561,575 and divide it by 2:
14,561,575 ÷ 2 = 7,280,787.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,280,787.5 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 | 14,561,575 | |
| -1 | -14,561,575 |
Now, we try dividing 14,561,575 by 3:
14,561,575 ÷ 3 = 4,853,858.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,853,858.3333 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 | 14,561,575 | |
| -1 | -14,561,575 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,561,575 ÷ 4 = 3,640,393.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,640,393.75 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 | 14,561,575 | |
| -1 | 14,561,575 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 49 | 175 | 245 | 1,225 | 11,887 | 59,435 | 83,209 | 297,175 | 416,045 | 582,463 | 2,080,225 | 2,912,315 | 14,561,575 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -49 | -175 | -245 | -1,225 | -11,887 | -59,435 | -83,209 | -297,175 | -416,045 | -582,463 | -2,080,225 | -2,912,315 | -14,561,575 |
