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 14,960,561, 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 | 14,960,561 | |
| -1 | -14,960,561 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,960,561.
Example:
1 x 14,960,561 = 14,960,561
and
-1 x -14,960,561 = 14,960,561
Notice both answers equal 14,960,561
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,960,561 and divide it by 2:
14,960,561 ÷ 2 = 7,480,280.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,480,280.5 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 | 14,960,561 | |
| -1 | -14,960,561 |
Now, we try dividing 14,960,561 by 3:
14,960,561 ÷ 3 = 4,986,853.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,986,853.6667 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 | 14,960,561 | |
| -1 | -14,960,561 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,960,561 ÷ 4 = 3,740,140.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,740,140.25 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 | 14,960,561 | |
| -1 | 14,960,561 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 17 | 77 | 119 | 121 | 187 | 847 | 1,039 | 1,309 | 2,057 | 7,273 | 11,429 | 14,399 | 17,663 | 80,003 | 123,641 | 125,719 | 194,293 | 880,033 | 1,360,051 | 2,137,223 | 14,960,561 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -17 | -77 | -119 | -121 | -187 | -847 | -1,039 | -1,309 | -2,057 | -7,273 | -11,429 | -14,399 | -17,663 | -80,003 | -123,641 | -125,719 | -194,293 | -880,033 | -1,360,051 | -2,137,223 | -14,960,561 |
