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 14,614,327, 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 | 14,614,327 | |
| -1 | -14,614,327 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,614,327.
Example:
1 x 14,614,327 = 14,614,327
and
-1 x -14,614,327 = 14,614,327
Notice both answers equal 14,614,327
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,614,327 and divide it by 2:
14,614,327 ÷ 2 = 7,307,163.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,307,163.5 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 | 14,614,327 | |
| -1 | -14,614,327 |
Now, we try dividing 14,614,327 by 3:
14,614,327 ÷ 3 = 4,871,442.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,871,442.3333 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 | 14,614,327 | |
| -1 | -14,614,327 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,614,327 ÷ 4 = 3,653,581.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,653,581.75 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 | 14,614,327 | |
| -1 | 14,614,327 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 91 | 287 | 533 | 3,731 | 3,917 | 27,419 | 50,921 | 160,597 | 356,447 | 1,124,179 | 2,087,761 | 14,614,327 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -91 | -287 | -533 | -3,731 | -3,917 | -27,419 | -50,921 | -160,597 | -356,447 | -1,124,179 | -2,087,761 | -14,614,327 |
