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 14,669,603, 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 | 14,669,603 | |
| -1 | -14,669,603 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,669,603.
Example:
1 x 14,669,603 = 14,669,603
and
-1 x -14,669,603 = 14,669,603
Notice both answers equal 14,669,603
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,669,603 and divide it by 2:
14,669,603 ÷ 2 = 7,334,801.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,334,801.5 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 | 14,669,603 | |
| -1 | -14,669,603 |
Now, we try dividing 14,669,603 by 3:
14,669,603 ÷ 3 = 4,889,867.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,889,867.6667 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 | 14,669,603 | |
| -1 | -14,669,603 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,669,603 ÷ 4 = 3,667,400.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,667,400.75 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 | 14,669,603 | |
| -1 | 14,669,603 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 89 | 403 | 409 | 1,157 | 2,759 | 5,317 | 12,679 | 35,867 | 36,401 | 164,827 | 473,213 | 1,128,431 | 14,669,603 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -89 | -403 | -409 | -1,157 | -2,759 | -5,317 | -12,679 | -35,867 | -36,401 | -164,827 | -473,213 | -1,128,431 | -14,669,603 |
