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 25,477,165, 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 | 25,477,165 | |
| -1 | -25,477,165 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 25,477,165.
Example:
1 x 25,477,165 = 25,477,165
and
-1 x -25,477,165 = 25,477,165
Notice both answers equal 25,477,165
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 25,477,165 and divide it by 2:
25,477,165 ÷ 2 = 12,738,582.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,738,582.5 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 | 25,477,165 | |
| -1 | -25,477,165 |
Now, we try dividing 25,477,165 by 3:
25,477,165 ÷ 3 = 8,492,388.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,492,388.3333 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 | 25,477,165 | |
| -1 | -25,477,165 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
25,477,165 ÷ 4 = 6,369,291.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,369,291.25 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 | 25,477,165 | |
| -1 | 25,477,165 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 461 | 1,579 | 2,305 | 3,227 | 7,895 | 11,053 | 16,135 | 55,265 | 727,919 | 3,639,595 | 5,095,433 | 25,477,165 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -461 | -1,579 | -2,305 | -3,227 | -7,895 | -11,053 | -16,135 | -55,265 | -727,919 | -3,639,595 | -5,095,433 | -25,477,165 |
