How do I find the factor combinations of the number 25,505,664?

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 25,505,664, 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 25,505,664
-1 -25,505,664

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 25,505,664.

Example:
1 x 25,505,664 = 25,505,664
and
-1 x -25,505,664 = 25,505,664
Notice both answers equal 25,505,664

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 25,505,664 and divide it by 2:

25,505,664 ÷ 2 = 12,752,832

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,752,832 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 12,752,832 25,505,664
-1 -2 -12,752,832 -25,505,664

Now, we try dividing 25,505,664 by 3:

25,505,664 ÷ 3 = 8,501,888

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,501,888 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 8,501,888 12,752,832 25,505,664
-1 -2 -3 -8,501,888 -12,752,832 -25,505,664

Let's try dividing by 4:

25,505,664 ÷ 4 = 6,376,416

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,376,416 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 6,376,416 8,501,888 12,752,832 25,505,664
-1 -2 -3 -4 -6,376,416 -8,501,888 -12,752,832 25,505,664
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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