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 14,653,265, 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 | 14,653,265 | |
| -1 | -14,653,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 14,653,265.
Example:
1 x 14,653,265 = 14,653,265
and
-1 x -14,653,265 = 14,653,265
Notice both answers equal 14,653,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 14,653,265 and divide it by 2:
14,653,265 ÷ 2 = 7,326,632.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 7,326,632.5 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 | 14,653,265 | |
| -1 | -14,653,265 |
Now, we try dividing 14,653,265 by 3:
14,653,265 ÷ 3 = 4,884,421.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 4,884,421.6667 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 | 14,653,265 | |
| -1 | -14,653,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
14,653,265 ÷ 4 = 3,663,316.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 3,663,316.25 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 | 14,653,265 | |
| -1 | 14,653,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 29 | 55 | 145 | 319 | 1,595 | 9,187 | 45,935 | 101,057 | 266,423 | 505,285 | 1,332,115 | 2,930,653 | 14,653,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -29 | -55 | -145 | -319 | -1,595 | -9,187 | -45,935 | -101,057 | -266,423 | -505,285 | -1,332,115 | -2,930,653 | -14,653,265 |
