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 25,076,015, 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 | 25,076,015 | |
| -1 | -25,076,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 25,076,015.
Example:
1 x 25,076,015 = 25,076,015
and
-1 x -25,076,015 = 25,076,015
Notice both answers equal 25,076,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 25,076,015 and divide it by 2:
25,076,015 ÷ 2 = 12,538,007.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,538,007.5 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 | 25,076,015 | |
| -1 | -25,076,015 |
Now, we try dividing 25,076,015 by 3:
25,076,015 ÷ 3 = 8,358,671.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,358,671.6667 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 | 25,076,015 | |
| -1 | -25,076,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
25,076,015 ÷ 4 = 6,269,003.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,269,003.75 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 | 25,076,015 | |
| -1 | 25,076,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 443 | 2,215 | 11,321 | 56,605 | 5,015,203 | 25,076,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -443 | -2,215 | -11,321 | -56,605 | -5,015,203 | -25,076,015 |
