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 1,414,049, 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 | 1,414,049 | |
| -1 | -1,414,049 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 1,414,049.
Example:
1 x 1,414,049 = 1,414,049
and
-1 x -1,414,049 = 1,414,049
Notice both answers equal 1,414,049
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 1,414,049 and divide it by 2:
1,414,049 ÷ 2 = 707,024.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 707,024.5 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 | 1,414,049 | |
| -1 | -1,414,049 |
Now, we try dividing 1,414,049 by 3:
1,414,049 ÷ 3 = 471,349.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 471,349.6667 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 | 1,414,049 | |
| -1 | -1,414,049 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
1,414,049 ÷ 4 = 353,512.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 353,512.25 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 | 1,414,049 | |
| -1 | 1,414,049 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 41 | 91 | 287 | 379 | 533 | 2,653 | 3,731 | 4,927 | 15,539 | 34,489 | 108,773 | 202,007 | 1,414,049 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -41 | -91 | -287 | -379 | -533 | -2,653 | -3,731 | -4,927 | -15,539 | -34,489 | -108,773 | -202,007 | -1,414,049 |
