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 15,692,941, 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 | 15,692,941 | |
| -1 | -15,692,941 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 15,692,941.
Example:
1 x 15,692,941 = 15,692,941
and
-1 x -15,692,941 = 15,692,941
Notice both answers equal 15,692,941
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 15,692,941 and divide it by 2:
15,692,941 ÷ 2 = 7,846,470.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,846,470.5 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 | 15,692,941 | |
| -1 | -15,692,941 |
Now, we try dividing 15,692,941 by 3:
15,692,941 ÷ 3 = 5,230,980.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,230,980.3333 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 | 15,692,941 | |
| -1 | -15,692,941 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
15,692,941 ÷ 4 = 3,923,235.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,923,235.25 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 | 15,692,941 | |
| -1 | 15,692,941 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 67 | 107 | 199 | 737 | 1,177 | 2,189 | 7,169 | 13,333 | 21,293 | 78,859 | 146,663 | 234,223 | 1,426,631 | 15,692,941 |
| -1 | -11 | -67 | -107 | -199 | -737 | -1,177 | -2,189 | -7,169 | -13,333 | -21,293 | -78,859 | -146,663 | -234,223 | -1,426,631 | -15,692,941 |
