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 14,796,041, 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 | 14,796,041 | |
| -1 | -14,796,041 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,796,041.
Example:
1 x 14,796,041 = 14,796,041
and
-1 x -14,796,041 = 14,796,041
Notice both answers equal 14,796,041
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,796,041 and divide it by 2:
14,796,041 ÷ 2 = 7,398,020.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,398,020.5 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 | 14,796,041 | |
| -1 | -14,796,041 |
Now, we try dividing 14,796,041 by 3:
14,796,041 ÷ 3 = 4,932,013.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,932,013.6667 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 | 14,796,041 | |
| -1 | -14,796,041 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,796,041 ÷ 4 = 3,699,010.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,699,010.25 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 | 14,796,041 | |
| -1 | 14,796,041 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 37 | 247 | 481 | 703 | 1,619 | 9,139 | 21,047 | 30,761 | 59,903 | 399,893 | 778,739 | 1,138,157 | 14,796,041 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -37 | -247 | -481 | -703 | -1,619 | -9,139 | -21,047 | -30,761 | -59,903 | -399,893 | -778,739 | -1,138,157 | -14,796,041 |
