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 14,665,343, 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 | 14,665,343 | |
| -1 | -14,665,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,665,343.
Example:
1 x 14,665,343 = 14,665,343
and
-1 x -14,665,343 = 14,665,343
Notice both answers equal 14,665,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,665,343 and divide it by 2:
14,665,343 ÷ 2 = 7,332,671.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,332,671.5 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 | 14,665,343 | |
| -1 | -14,665,343 |
Now, we try dividing 14,665,343 by 3:
14,665,343 ÷ 3 = 4,888,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,888,447.6667 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 | 14,665,343 | |
| -1 | -14,665,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,665,343 ÷ 4 = 3,666,335.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,666,335.75 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 | 14,665,343 | |
| -1 | 14,665,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 283 | 673 | 1,981 | 3,113 | 4,711 | 7,403 | 21,791 | 51,821 | 190,459 | 1,333,213 | 2,095,049 | 14,665,343 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -283 | -673 | -1,981 | -3,113 | -4,711 | -7,403 | -21,791 | -51,821 | -190,459 | -1,333,213 | -2,095,049 | -14,665,343 |
