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 14,770,045, 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 | 14,770,045 | |
| -1 | -14,770,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,770,045.
Example:
1 x 14,770,045 = 14,770,045
and
-1 x -14,770,045 = 14,770,045
Notice both answers equal 14,770,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,770,045 and divide it by 2:
14,770,045 ÷ 2 = 7,385,022.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,385,022.5 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 | 14,770,045 | |
| -1 | -14,770,045 |
Now, we try dividing 14,770,045 by 3:
14,770,045 ÷ 3 = 4,923,348.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,923,348.3333 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 | 14,770,045 | |
| -1 | -14,770,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,770,045 ÷ 4 = 3,692,511.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,692,511.25 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 | 14,770,045 | |
| -1 | 14,770,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 109 | 205 | 545 | 661 | 3,305 | 4,469 | 22,345 | 27,101 | 72,049 | 135,505 | 360,245 | 2,954,009 | 14,770,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -109 | -205 | -545 | -661 | -3,305 | -4,469 | -22,345 | -27,101 | -72,049 | -135,505 | -360,245 | -2,954,009 | -14,770,045 |
