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 14,676,949, 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 | 14,676,949 | |
| -1 | -14,676,949 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,676,949.
Example:
1 x 14,676,949 = 14,676,949
and
-1 x -14,676,949 = 14,676,949
Notice both answers equal 14,676,949
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,676,949 and divide it by 2:
14,676,949 ÷ 2 = 7,338,474.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,338,474.5 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 | 14,676,949 | |
| -1 | -14,676,949 |
Now, we try dividing 14,676,949 by 3:
14,676,949 ÷ 3 = 4,892,316.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,892,316.3333 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 | 14,676,949 | |
| -1 | -14,676,949 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,676,949 ÷ 4 = 3,669,237.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,669,237.25 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 | 14,676,949 | |
| -1 | 14,676,949 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 211 | 523 | 1,477 | 3,661 | 4,009 | 9,937 | 28,063 | 69,559 | 110,353 | 772,471 | 2,096,707 | 14,676,949 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -211 | -523 | -1,477 | -3,661 | -4,009 | -9,937 | -28,063 | -69,559 | -110,353 | -772,471 | -2,096,707 | -14,676,949 |
