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 16,114,703, 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 | 16,114,703 | |
| -1 | -16,114,703 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,114,703.
Example:
1 x 16,114,703 = 16,114,703
and
-1 x -16,114,703 = 16,114,703
Notice both answers equal 16,114,703
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,114,703 and divide it by 2:
16,114,703 ÷ 2 = 8,057,351.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,057,351.5 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 | 16,114,703 | |
| -1 | -16,114,703 |
Now, we try dividing 16,114,703 by 3:
16,114,703 ÷ 3 = 5,371,567.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,371,567.6667 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 | 16,114,703 | |
| -1 | -16,114,703 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,114,703 ÷ 4 = 4,028,675.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,028,675.75 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 | 16,114,703 | |
| -1 | 16,114,703 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 53 | 131 | 211 | 583 | 1,441 | 2,321 | 6,943 | 11,183 | 27,641 | 76,373 | 123,013 | 304,051 | 1,464,973 | 16,114,703 |
| -1 | -11 | -53 | -131 | -211 | -583 | -1,441 | -2,321 | -6,943 | -11,183 | -27,641 | -76,373 | -123,013 | -304,051 | -1,464,973 | -16,114,703 |
