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 14,700,595, 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 | 14,700,595 | |
| -1 | -14,700,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,700,595.
Example:
1 x 14,700,595 = 14,700,595
and
-1 x -14,700,595 = 14,700,595
Notice both answers equal 14,700,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,700,595 and divide it by 2:
14,700,595 ÷ 2 = 7,350,297.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,350,297.5 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 | 14,700,595 | |
| -1 | -14,700,595 |
Now, we try dividing 14,700,595 by 3:
14,700,595 ÷ 3 = 4,900,198.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,900,198.3333 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 | 14,700,595 | |
| -1 | -14,700,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,700,595 ÷ 4 = 3,675,148.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,675,148.75 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 | 14,700,595 | |
| -1 | 14,700,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 32,309 | 161,545 | 226,163 | 420,017 | 1,130,815 | 2,100,085 | 2,940,119 | 14,700,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -32,309 | -161,545 | -226,163 | -420,017 | -1,130,815 | -2,100,085 | -2,940,119 | -14,700,595 |
