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 14,820,595, 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 | 14,820,595 | |
| -1 | -14,820,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,820,595.
Example:
1 x 14,820,595 = 14,820,595
and
-1 x -14,820,595 = 14,820,595
Notice both answers equal 14,820,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,820,595 and divide it by 2:
14,820,595 ÷ 2 = 7,410,297.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,410,297.5 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 | 14,820,595 | |
| -1 | -14,820,595 |
Now, we try dividing 14,820,595 by 3:
14,820,595 ÷ 3 = 4,940,198.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,940,198.3333 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 | 14,820,595 | |
| -1 | -14,820,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,820,595 ÷ 4 = 3,705,148.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,705,148.75 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 | 14,820,595 | |
| -1 | 14,820,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 43 | 145 | 215 | 1,247 | 2,377 | 6,235 | 11,885 | 68,933 | 102,211 | 344,665 | 511,055 | 2,964,119 | 14,820,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -43 | -145 | -215 | -1,247 | -2,377 | -6,235 | -11,885 | -68,933 | -102,211 | -344,665 | -511,055 | -2,964,119 | -14,820,595 |
