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 14,740,411, 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 | 14,740,411 | |
| -1 | -14,740,411 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,740,411.
Example:
1 x 14,740,411 = 14,740,411
and
-1 x -14,740,411 = 14,740,411
Notice both answers equal 14,740,411
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,740,411 and divide it by 2:
14,740,411 ÷ 2 = 7,370,205.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,370,205.5 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 | 14,740,411 | |
| -1 | -14,740,411 |
Now, we try dividing 14,740,411 by 3:
14,740,411 ÷ 3 = 4,913,470.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,913,470.3333 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 | 14,740,411 | |
| -1 | -14,740,411 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,740,411 ÷ 4 = 3,685,102.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,685,102.75 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 | 14,740,411 | |
| -1 | 14,740,411 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 97 | 119 | 679 | 1,277 | 1,649 | 8,939 | 11,543 | 21,709 | 123,869 | 151,963 | 867,083 | 2,105,773 | 14,740,411 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -97 | -119 | -679 | -1,277 | -1,649 | -8,939 | -11,543 | -21,709 | -123,869 | -151,963 | -867,083 | -2,105,773 | -14,740,411 |
