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 15,264,469, 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 | 15,264,469 | |
| -1 | -15,264,469 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 15,264,469.
Example:
1 x 15,264,469 = 15,264,469
and
-1 x -15,264,469 = 15,264,469
Notice both answers equal 15,264,469
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,264,469 and divide it by 2:
15,264,469 ÷ 2 = 7,632,234.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,632,234.5 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 | 15,264,469 | |
| -1 | -15,264,469 |
Now, we try dividing 15,264,469 by 3:
15,264,469 ÷ 3 = 5,088,156.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,088,156.3333 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 | 15,264,469 | |
| -1 | -15,264,469 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
15,264,469 ÷ 4 = 3,816,117.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,816,117.25 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 | 15,264,469 | |
| -1 | 15,264,469 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 29 | 109 | 319 | 439 | 1,199 | 3,161 | 4,829 | 12,731 | 34,771 | 47,851 | 140,041 | 526,361 | 1,387,679 | 15,264,469 |
| -1 | -11 | -29 | -109 | -319 | -439 | -1,199 | -3,161 | -4,829 | -12,731 | -34,771 | -47,851 | -140,041 | -526,361 | -1,387,679 | -15,264,469 |
