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 14,754,467, 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 | 14,754,467 | |
| -1 | -14,754,467 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,754,467.
Example:
1 x 14,754,467 = 14,754,467
and
-1 x -14,754,467 = 14,754,467
Notice both answers equal 14,754,467
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,754,467 and divide it by 2:
14,754,467 ÷ 2 = 7,377,233.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,377,233.5 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 | 14,754,467 | |
| -1 | -14,754,467 |
Now, we try dividing 14,754,467 by 3:
14,754,467 ÷ 3 = 4,918,155.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,918,155.6667 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 | 14,754,467 | |
| -1 | -14,754,467 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,754,467 ÷ 4 = 3,688,616.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,688,616.75 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 | 14,754,467 | |
| -1 | 14,754,467 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 281 | 577 | 1,967 | 3,653 | 4,039 | 7,501 | 25,571 | 52,507 | 162,137 | 1,134,959 | 2,107,781 | 14,754,467 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -281 | -577 | -1,967 | -3,653 | -4,039 | -7,501 | -25,571 | -52,507 | -162,137 | -1,134,959 | -2,107,781 | -14,754,467 |
