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 14,800,357, 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 | 14,800,357 | |
| -1 | -14,800,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,800,357.
Example:
1 x 14,800,357 = 14,800,357
and
-1 x -14,800,357 = 14,800,357
Notice both answers equal 14,800,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,800,357 and divide it by 2:
14,800,357 ÷ 2 = 7,400,178.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,400,178.5 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 | 14,800,357 | |
| -1 | -14,800,357 |
Now, we try dividing 14,800,357 by 3:
14,800,357 ÷ 3 = 4,933,452.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,933,452.3333 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 | 14,800,357 | |
| -1 | -14,800,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,800,357 ÷ 4 = 3,700,089.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,700,089.25 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 | 14,800,357 | |
| -1 | 14,800,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 97 | 121 | 143 | 1,067 | 1,261 | 1,573 | 9,409 | 11,737 | 13,871 | 103,499 | 122,317 | 152,581 | 1,138,489 | 1,345,487 | 14,800,357 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -97 | -121 | -143 | -1,067 | -1,261 | -1,573 | -9,409 | -11,737 | -13,871 | -103,499 | -122,317 | -152,581 | -1,138,489 | -1,345,487 | -14,800,357 |
