How do I find the factor combinations of the number 25,313,544?

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 25,313,544, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 25,313,544
-1 -25,313,544

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 25,313,544.

Example:
1 x 25,313,544 = 25,313,544
and
-1 x -25,313,544 = 25,313,544
Notice both answers equal 25,313,544

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 25,313,544 and divide it by 2:

25,313,544 ÷ 2 = 12,656,772

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,656,772 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 12,656,772 25,313,544
-1 -2 -12,656,772 -25,313,544

Now, we try dividing 25,313,544 by 3:

25,313,544 ÷ 3 = 8,437,848

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,437,848 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 8,437,848 12,656,772 25,313,544
-1 -2 -3 -8,437,848 -12,656,772 -25,313,544

Let's try dividing by 4:

25,313,544 ÷ 4 = 6,328,386

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,328,386 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 6,328,386 8,437,848 12,656,772 25,313,544
-1 -2 -3 -4 -6,328,386 -8,437,848 -12,656,772 25,313,544
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
