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 16,114,343, 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 | 16,114,343 | |
| -1 | -16,114,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,114,343.
Example:
1 x 16,114,343 = 16,114,343
and
-1 x -16,114,343 = 16,114,343
Notice both answers equal 16,114,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,114,343 and divide it by 2:
16,114,343 ÷ 2 = 8,057,171.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,057,171.5 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 | 16,114,343 | |
| -1 | -16,114,343 |
Now, we try dividing 16,114,343 by 3:
16,114,343 ÷ 3 = 5,371,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,371,447.6667 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 | 16,114,343 | |
| -1 | -16,114,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,114,343 ÷ 4 = 4,028,585.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,028,585.75 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 | 16,114,343 | |
| -1 | 16,114,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 163 | 203 | 487 | 1,141 | 3,409 | 4,727 | 14,123 | 33,089 | 79,381 | 98,861 | 555,667 | 2,302,049 | 16,114,343 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -163 | -203 | -487 | -1,141 | -3,409 | -4,727 | -14,123 | -33,089 | -79,381 | -98,861 | -555,667 | -2,302,049 | -16,114,343 |
