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 14,733,745, 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 | 14,733,745 | |
| -1 | -14,733,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,733,745.
Example:
1 x 14,733,745 = 14,733,745
and
-1 x -14,733,745 = 14,733,745
Notice both answers equal 14,733,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,733,745 and divide it by 2:
14,733,745 ÷ 2 = 7,366,872.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,366,872.5 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 | 14,733,745 | |
| -1 | -14,733,745 |
Now, we try dividing 14,733,745 by 3:
14,733,745 ÷ 3 = 4,911,248.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,911,248.3333 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 | 14,733,745 | |
| -1 | -14,733,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,733,745 ÷ 4 = 3,683,436.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,683,436.25 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 | 14,733,745 | |
| -1 | 14,733,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 83 | 415 | 1,079 | 2,731 | 5,395 | 13,655 | 35,503 | 177,515 | 226,673 | 1,133,365 | 2,946,749 | 14,733,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -83 | -415 | -1,079 | -2,731 | -5,395 | -13,655 | -35,503 | -177,515 | -226,673 | -1,133,365 | -2,946,749 | -14,733,745 |
