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 14,745,035, 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 | 14,745,035 | |
| -1 | -14,745,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,745,035.
Example:
1 x 14,745,035 = 14,745,035
and
-1 x -14,745,035 = 14,745,035
Notice both answers equal 14,745,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,745,035 and divide it by 2:
14,745,035 ÷ 2 = 7,372,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,372,517.5 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 | 14,745,035 | |
| -1 | -14,745,035 |
Now, we try dividing 14,745,035 by 3:
14,745,035 ÷ 3 = 4,915,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,915,011.6667 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 | 14,745,035 | |
| -1 | -14,745,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,745,035 ÷ 4 = 3,686,258.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,686,258.75 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 | 14,745,035 | |
| -1 | 14,745,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 41 | 85 | 205 | 697 | 3,485 | 4,231 | 21,155 | 71,927 | 173,471 | 359,635 | 867,355 | 2,949,007 | 14,745,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -41 | -85 | -205 | -697 | -3,485 | -4,231 | -21,155 | -71,927 | -173,471 | -359,635 | -867,355 | -2,949,007 | -14,745,035 |
