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 14,688,485, 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 | 14,688,485 | |
| -1 | -14,688,485 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,688,485.
Example:
1 x 14,688,485 = 14,688,485
and
-1 x -14,688,485 = 14,688,485
Notice both answers equal 14,688,485
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,688,485 and divide it by 2:
14,688,485 ÷ 2 = 7,344,242.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,344,242.5 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 | 14,688,485 | |
| -1 | -14,688,485 |
Now, we try dividing 14,688,485 by 3:
14,688,485 ÷ 3 = 4,896,161.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,896,161.6667 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 | 14,688,485 | |
| -1 | -14,688,485 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,688,485 ÷ 4 = 3,672,121.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,672,121.25 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 | 14,688,485 | |
| -1 | 14,688,485 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 167 | 245 | 359 | 835 | 1,169 | 1,795 | 2,513 | 5,845 | 8,183 | 12,565 | 17,591 | 40,915 | 59,953 | 87,955 | 299,765 | 419,671 | 2,098,355 | 2,937,697 | 14,688,485 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -167 | -245 | -359 | -835 | -1,169 | -1,795 | -2,513 | -5,845 | -8,183 | -12,565 | -17,591 | -40,915 | -59,953 | -87,955 | -299,765 | -419,671 | -2,098,355 | -2,937,697 | -14,688,485 |
