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 14,665,645, 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 | 14,665,645 | |
| -1 | -14,665,645 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,665,645.
Example:
1 x 14,665,645 = 14,665,645
and
-1 x -14,665,645 = 14,665,645
Notice both answers equal 14,665,645
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,665,645 and divide it by 2:
14,665,645 ÷ 2 = 7,332,822.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,332,822.5 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 | 14,665,645 | |
| -1 | -14,665,645 |
Now, we try dividing 14,665,645 by 3:
14,665,645 ÷ 3 = 4,888,548.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,888,548.3333 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 | 14,665,645 | |
| -1 | -14,665,645 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,665,645 ÷ 4 = 3,666,411.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,666,411.25 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 | 14,665,645 | |
| -1 | 14,665,645 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 47 | 85 | 235 | 799 | 3,671 | 3,995 | 18,355 | 62,407 | 172,537 | 312,035 | 862,685 | 2,933,129 | 14,665,645 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -47 | -85 | -235 | -799 | -3,671 | -3,995 | -18,355 | -62,407 | -172,537 | -312,035 | -862,685 | -2,933,129 | -14,665,645 |
