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 14,884,135, 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 | 14,884,135 | |
| -1 | -14,884,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,884,135.
Example:
1 x 14,884,135 = 14,884,135
and
-1 x -14,884,135 = 14,884,135
Notice both answers equal 14,884,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,884,135 and divide it by 2:
14,884,135 ÷ 2 = 7,442,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,442,067.5 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 | 14,884,135 | |
| -1 | -14,884,135 |
Now, we try dividing 14,884,135 by 3:
14,884,135 ÷ 3 = 4,961,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,961,378.3333 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 | 14,884,135 | |
| -1 | -14,884,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,884,135 ÷ 4 = 3,721,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,721,033.75 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 | 14,884,135 | |
| -1 | 14,884,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 223 | 1,115 | 1,561 | 1,907 | 7,805 | 9,535 | 13,349 | 66,745 | 425,261 | 2,126,305 | 2,976,827 | 14,884,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -223 | -1,115 | -1,561 | -1,907 | -7,805 | -9,535 | -13,349 | -66,745 | -425,261 | -2,126,305 | -2,976,827 | -14,884,135 |
