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 25,210,559, 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 | 25,210,559 | |
| -1 | -25,210,559 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 25,210,559.
Example:
1 x 25,210,559 = 25,210,559
and
-1 x -25,210,559 = 25,210,559
Notice both answers equal 25,210,559
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 25,210,559 and divide it by 2:
25,210,559 ÷ 2 = 12,605,279.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,605,279.5 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 | 25,210,559 | |
| -1 | -25,210,559 |
Now, we try dividing 25,210,559 by 3:
25,210,559 ÷ 3 = 8,403,519.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,403,519.6667 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 | 25,210,559 | |
| -1 | -25,210,559 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
25,210,559 ÷ 4 = 6,302,639.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,302,639.75 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 | 25,210,559 | |
| -1 | 25,210,559 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 67 | 79 | 433 | 737 | 869 | 4,763 | 5,293 | 29,011 | 34,207 | 58,223 | 319,121 | 376,277 | 2,291,869 | 25,210,559 |
| -1 | -11 | -67 | -79 | -433 | -737 | -869 | -4,763 | -5,293 | -29,011 | -34,207 | -58,223 | -319,121 | -376,277 | -2,291,869 | -25,210,559 |
