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 14,745,055, 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 | 14,745,055 | |
| -1 | -14,745,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,745,055.
Example:
1 x 14,745,055 = 14,745,055
and
-1 x -14,745,055 = 14,745,055
Notice both answers equal 14,745,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,745,055 and divide it by 2:
14,745,055 ÷ 2 = 7,372,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,372,527.5 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 | 14,745,055 | |
| -1 | -14,745,055 |
Now, we try dividing 14,745,055 by 3:
14,745,055 ÷ 3 = 4,915,018.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,915,018.3333 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 | 14,745,055 | |
| -1 | -14,745,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,745,055 ÷ 4 = 3,686,263.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,686,263.75 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 | 14,745,055 | |
| -1 | 14,745,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 37 | 65 | 185 | 481 | 2,405 | 6,131 | 30,655 | 79,703 | 226,847 | 398,515 | 1,134,235 | 2,949,011 | 14,745,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -37 | -65 | -185 | -481 | -2,405 | -6,131 | -30,655 | -79,703 | -226,847 | -398,515 | -1,134,235 | -2,949,011 | -14,745,055 |
