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 16,414,153, 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 | 16,414,153 | |
| -1 | -16,414,153 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 16,414,153.
Example:
1 x 16,414,153 = 16,414,153
and
-1 x -16,414,153 = 16,414,153
Notice both answers equal 16,414,153
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 16,414,153 and divide it by 2:
16,414,153 ÷ 2 = 8,207,076.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,207,076.5 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 | 16,414,153 | |
| -1 | -16,414,153 |
Now, we try dividing 16,414,153 by 3:
16,414,153 ÷ 3 = 5,471,384.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,471,384.3333 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 | 16,414,153 | |
| -1 | -16,414,153 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
16,414,153 ÷ 4 = 4,103,538.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,103,538.25 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 | 16,414,153 | |
| -1 | 16,414,153 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 53 | 151 | 293 | 371 | 1,057 | 2,051 | 8,003 | 15,529 | 44,243 | 56,021 | 108,703 | 309,701 | 2,344,879 | 16,414,153 |
| -1 | -7 | -53 | -151 | -293 | -371 | -1,057 | -2,051 | -8,003 | -15,529 | -44,243 | -56,021 | -108,703 | -309,701 | -2,344,879 | -16,414,153 |
