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 14,660,723, 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 | 14,660,723 | |
| -1 | -14,660,723 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,660,723.
Example:
1 x 14,660,723 = 14,660,723
and
-1 x -14,660,723 = 14,660,723
Notice both answers equal 14,660,723
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,660,723 and divide it by 2:
14,660,723 ÷ 2 = 7,330,361.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,330,361.5 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 | 14,660,723 | |
| -1 | -14,660,723 |
Now, we try dividing 14,660,723 by 3:
14,660,723 ÷ 3 = 4,886,907.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,886,907.6667 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 | 14,660,723 | |
| -1 | -14,660,723 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,660,723 ÷ 4 = 3,665,180.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,665,180.75 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 | 14,660,723 | |
| -1 | 14,660,723 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 19 | 77 | 121 | 133 | 209 | 847 | 911 | 1,463 | 2,299 | 6,377 | 10,021 | 16,093 | 17,309 | 70,147 | 110,231 | 121,163 | 190,399 | 771,617 | 1,332,793 | 2,094,389 | 14,660,723 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -19 | -77 | -121 | -133 | -209 | -847 | -911 | -1,463 | -2,299 | -6,377 | -10,021 | -16,093 | -17,309 | -70,147 | -110,231 | -121,163 | -190,399 | -771,617 | -1,332,793 | -2,094,389 | -14,660,723 |
