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 14,633,215, 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 | 14,633,215 | |
| -1 | -14,633,215 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,633,215.
Example:
1 x 14,633,215 = 14,633,215
and
-1 x -14,633,215 = 14,633,215
Notice both answers equal 14,633,215
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,633,215 and divide it by 2:
14,633,215 ÷ 2 = 7,316,607.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,316,607.5 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 | 14,633,215 | |
| -1 | -14,633,215 |
Now, we try dividing 14,633,215 by 3:
14,633,215 ÷ 3 = 4,877,738.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,877,738.3333 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 | 14,633,215 | |
| -1 | -14,633,215 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,633,215 ÷ 4 = 3,658,303.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,658,303.75 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 | 14,633,215 | |
| -1 | 14,633,215 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 47 | 73 | 235 | 365 | 853 | 3,431 | 4,265 | 17,155 | 40,091 | 62,269 | 200,455 | 311,345 | 2,926,643 | 14,633,215 |
| -1 | -5 | -47 | -73 | -235 | -365 | -853 | -3,431 | -4,265 | -17,155 | -40,091 | -62,269 | -200,455 | -311,345 | -2,926,643 | -14,633,215 |
