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 14,811,773, 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 | 14,811,773 | |
| -1 | -14,811,773 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,811,773.
Example:
1 x 14,811,773 = 14,811,773
and
-1 x -14,811,773 = 14,811,773
Notice both answers equal 14,811,773
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,811,773 and divide it by 2:
14,811,773 ÷ 2 = 7,405,886.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,405,886.5 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 | 14,811,773 | |
| -1 | -14,811,773 |
Now, we try dividing 14,811,773 by 3:
14,811,773 ÷ 3 = 4,937,257.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,937,257.6667 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 | 14,811,773 | |
| -1 | -14,811,773 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,811,773 ÷ 4 = 3,702,943.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,702,943.25 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 | 14,811,773 | |
| -1 | 14,811,773 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 59 | 73 | 181 | 1,121 | 1,387 | 3,439 | 4,307 | 10,679 | 13,213 | 81,833 | 202,901 | 251,047 | 779,567 | 14,811,773 |
| -1 | -19 | -59 | -73 | -181 | -1,121 | -1,387 | -3,439 | -4,307 | -10,679 | -13,213 | -81,833 | -202,901 | -251,047 | -779,567 | -14,811,773 |
