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 25,552,135, 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 | 25,552,135 | |
| -1 | -25,552,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 25,552,135.
Example:
1 x 25,552,135 = 25,552,135
and
-1 x -25,552,135 = 25,552,135
Notice both answers equal 25,552,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 25,552,135 and divide it by 2:
25,552,135 ÷ 2 = 12,776,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,776,067.5 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 | 25,552,135 | |
| -1 | -25,552,135 |
Now, we try dividing 25,552,135 by 3:
25,552,135 ÷ 3 = 8,517,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,517,378.3333 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 | 25,552,135 | |
| -1 | -25,552,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
25,552,135 ÷ 4 = 6,388,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,388,033.75 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 | 25,552,135 | |
| -1 | 25,552,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 107 | 535 | 749 | 3,745 | 6,823 | 34,115 | 47,761 | 238,805 | 730,061 | 3,650,305 | 5,110,427 | 25,552,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -107 | -535 | -749 | -3,745 | -6,823 | -34,115 | -47,761 | -238,805 | -730,061 | -3,650,305 | -5,110,427 | -25,552,135 |
