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 14,583,215, 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 | 14,583,215 | |
| -1 | -14,583,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,583,215.
Example:
1 x 14,583,215 = 14,583,215
and
-1 x -14,583,215 = 14,583,215
Notice both answers equal 14,583,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,583,215 and divide it by 2:
14,583,215 ÷ 2 = 7,291,607.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,291,607.5 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 | 14,583,215 | |
| -1 | -14,583,215 |
Now, we try dividing 14,583,215 by 3:
14,583,215 ÷ 3 = 4,861,071.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,861,071.6667 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 | 14,583,215 | |
| -1 | -14,583,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,583,215 ÷ 4 = 3,645,803.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,645,803.75 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 | 14,583,215 | |
| -1 | 14,583,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 53 | 113 | 265 | 487 | 565 | 2,435 | 5,989 | 25,811 | 29,945 | 55,031 | 129,055 | 275,155 | 2,916,643 | 14,583,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -53 | -113 | -265 | -487 | -565 | -2,435 | -5,989 | -25,811 | -29,945 | -55,031 | -129,055 | -275,155 | -2,916,643 | -14,583,215 |
