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 15,004,675, 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 | 15,004,675 | |
| -1 | -15,004,675 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 15,004,675.
Example:
1 x 15,004,675 = 15,004,675
and
-1 x -15,004,675 = 15,004,675
Notice both answers equal 15,004,675
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,004,675 and divide it by 2:
15,004,675 ÷ 2 = 7,502,337.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,502,337.5 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 | 15,004,675 | |
| -1 | -15,004,675 |
Now, we try dividing 15,004,675 by 3:
15,004,675 ÷ 3 = 5,001,558.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,001,558.3333 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 | 15,004,675 | |
| -1 | -15,004,675 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
15,004,675 ÷ 4 = 3,751,168.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,751,168.75 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 | 15,004,675 | |
| -1 | 15,004,675 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 175 | 179 | 479 | 895 | 1,253 | 2,395 | 3,353 | 4,475 | 6,265 | 11,975 | 16,765 | 31,325 | 83,825 | 85,741 | 428,705 | 600,187 | 2,143,525 | 3,000,935 | 15,004,675 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -175 | -179 | -479 | -895 | -1,253 | -2,395 | -3,353 | -4,475 | -6,265 | -11,975 | -16,765 | -31,325 | -83,825 | -85,741 | -428,705 | -600,187 | -2,143,525 | -3,000,935 | -15,004,675 |
