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 14,617,771, 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 | 14,617,771 | |
| -1 | -14,617,771 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,617,771.
Example:
1 x 14,617,771 = 14,617,771
and
-1 x -14,617,771 = 14,617,771
Notice both answers equal 14,617,771
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,617,771 and divide it by 2:
14,617,771 ÷ 2 = 7,308,885.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,308,885.5 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 | 14,617,771 | |
| -1 | -14,617,771 |
Now, we try dividing 14,617,771 by 3:
14,617,771 ÷ 3 = 4,872,590.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,872,590.3333 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 | 14,617,771 | |
| -1 | -14,617,771 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,617,771 ÷ 4 = 3,654,442.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,654,442.75 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 | 14,617,771 | |
| -1 | 14,617,771 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 41 | 53 | 217 | 287 | 371 | 961 | 1,271 | 1,643 | 2,173 | 6,727 | 8,897 | 11,501 | 15,211 | 39,401 | 50,933 | 67,363 | 275,807 | 356,531 | 471,541 | 2,088,253 | 14,617,771 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -41 | -53 | -217 | -287 | -371 | -961 | -1,271 | -1,643 | -2,173 | -6,727 | -8,897 | -11,501 | -15,211 | -39,401 | -50,933 | -67,363 | -275,807 | -356,531 | -471,541 | -2,088,253 | -14,617,771 |
