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 14,966,035, 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 | 14,966,035 | |
| -1 | -14,966,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,966,035.
Example:
1 x 14,966,035 = 14,966,035
and
-1 x -14,966,035 = 14,966,035
Notice both answers equal 14,966,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,966,035 and divide it by 2:
14,966,035 ÷ 2 = 7,483,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,483,017.5 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 | 14,966,035 | |
| -1 | -14,966,035 |
Now, we try dividing 14,966,035 by 3:
14,966,035 ÷ 3 = 4,988,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,988,678.3333 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 | 14,966,035 | |
| -1 | -14,966,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,966,035 ÷ 4 = 3,741,508.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,741,508.75 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 | 14,966,035 | |
| -1 | 14,966,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 85 | 119 | 595 | 25,153 | 125,765 | 176,071 | 427,601 | 880,355 | 2,138,005 | 2,993,207 | 14,966,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -85 | -119 | -595 | -25,153 | -125,765 | -176,071 | -427,601 | -880,355 | -2,138,005 | -2,993,207 | -14,966,035 |
