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 14,726,465, 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 | 14,726,465 | |
| -1 | -14,726,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,726,465.
Example:
1 x 14,726,465 = 14,726,465
and
-1 x -14,726,465 = 14,726,465
Notice both answers equal 14,726,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,726,465 and divide it by 2:
14,726,465 ÷ 2 = 7,363,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,363,232.5 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 | 14,726,465 | |
| -1 | -14,726,465 |
Now, we try dividing 14,726,465 by 3:
14,726,465 ÷ 3 = 4,908,821.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,908,821.6667 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 | 14,726,465 | |
| -1 | -14,726,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,726,465 ÷ 4 = 3,681,616.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,681,616.25 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 | 14,726,465 | |
| -1 | 14,726,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 71 | 355 | 923 | 3,191 | 4,615 | 15,955 | 41,483 | 207,415 | 226,561 | 1,132,805 | 2,945,293 | 14,726,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -71 | -355 | -923 | -3,191 | -4,615 | -15,955 | -41,483 | -207,415 | -226,561 | -1,132,805 | -2,945,293 | -14,726,465 |
