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 14,615,695, 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 | 14,615,695 | |
| -1 | -14,615,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,615,695.
Example:
1 x 14,615,695 = 14,615,695
and
-1 x -14,615,695 = 14,615,695
Notice both answers equal 14,615,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,615,695 and divide it by 2:
14,615,695 ÷ 2 = 7,307,847.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,307,847.5 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 | 14,615,695 | |
| -1 | -14,615,695 |
Now, we try dividing 14,615,695 by 3:
14,615,695 ÷ 3 = 4,871,898.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,871,898.3333 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 | 14,615,695 | |
| -1 | -14,615,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,615,695 ÷ 4 = 3,653,923.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,653,923.75 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 | 14,615,695 | |
| -1 | 14,615,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 73 | 115 | 365 | 1,679 | 1,741 | 8,395 | 8,705 | 40,043 | 127,093 | 200,215 | 635,465 | 2,923,139 | 14,615,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -73 | -115 | -365 | -1,679 | -1,741 | -8,395 | -8,705 | -40,043 | -127,093 | -200,215 | -635,465 | -2,923,139 | -14,615,695 |
