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 14,682,155, 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 | 14,682,155 | |
| -1 | -14,682,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,682,155.
Example:
1 x 14,682,155 = 14,682,155
and
-1 x -14,682,155 = 14,682,155
Notice both answers equal 14,682,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,682,155 and divide it by 2:
14,682,155 ÷ 2 = 7,341,077.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,341,077.5 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 | 14,682,155 | |
| -1 | -14,682,155 |
Now, we try dividing 14,682,155 by 3:
14,682,155 ÷ 3 = 4,894,051.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,894,051.6667 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 | 14,682,155 | |
| -1 | -14,682,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,682,155 ÷ 4 = 3,670,538.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,670,538.75 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 | 14,682,155 | |
| -1 | 14,682,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 37 | 95 | 185 | 703 | 3,515 | 4,177 | 20,885 | 79,363 | 154,549 | 396,815 | 772,745 | 2,936,431 | 14,682,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -37 | -95 | -185 | -703 | -3,515 | -4,177 | -20,885 | -79,363 | -154,549 | -396,815 | -772,745 | -2,936,431 | -14,682,155 |
