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 14,626,645, 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 | 14,626,645 | |
| -1 | -14,626,645 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,626,645.
Example:
1 x 14,626,645 = 14,626,645
and
-1 x -14,626,645 = 14,626,645
Notice both answers equal 14,626,645
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,626,645 and divide it by 2:
14,626,645 ÷ 2 = 7,313,322.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,313,322.5 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 | 14,626,645 | |
| -1 | -14,626,645 |
Now, we try dividing 14,626,645 by 3:
14,626,645 ÷ 3 = 4,875,548.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,875,548.3333 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 | 14,626,645 | |
| -1 | -14,626,645 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,626,645 ÷ 4 = 3,656,661.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,656,661.25 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 | 14,626,645 | |
| -1 | 14,626,645 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 73 | 365 | 803 | 3,643 | 4,015 | 18,215 | 40,073 | 200,365 | 265,939 | 1,329,695 | 2,925,329 | 14,626,645 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -73 | -365 | -803 | -3,643 | -4,015 | -18,215 | -40,073 | -200,365 | -265,939 | -1,329,695 | -2,925,329 | -14,626,645 |
