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 14,567,045, 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 | 14,567,045 | |
| -1 | -14,567,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,567,045.
Example:
1 x 14,567,045 = 14,567,045
and
-1 x -14,567,045 = 14,567,045
Notice both answers equal 14,567,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,567,045 and divide it by 2:
14,567,045 ÷ 2 = 7,283,522.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,283,522.5 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 | 14,567,045 | |
| -1 | -14,567,045 |
Now, we try dividing 14,567,045 by 3:
14,567,045 ÷ 3 = 4,855,681.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,855,681.6667 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 | 14,567,045 | |
| -1 | -14,567,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,567,045 ÷ 4 = 3,641,761.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,641,761.25 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 | 14,567,045 | |
| -1 | 14,567,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 289 | 593 | 1,445 | 2,965 | 4,913 | 10,081 | 24,565 | 50,405 | 171,377 | 856,885 | 2,913,409 | 14,567,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -289 | -593 | -1,445 | -2,965 | -4,913 | -10,081 | -24,565 | -50,405 | -171,377 | -856,885 | -2,913,409 | -14,567,045 |
