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 25,614,325, 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 | 25,614,325 | |
| -1 | -25,614,325 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 25,614,325.
Example:
1 x 25,614,325 = 25,614,325
and
-1 x -25,614,325 = 25,614,325
Notice both answers equal 25,614,325
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 25,614,325 and divide it by 2:
25,614,325 ÷ 2 = 12,807,162.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,807,162.5 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 | 25,614,325 | |
| -1 | -25,614,325 |
Now, we try dividing 25,614,325 by 3:
25,614,325 ÷ 3 = 8,538,108.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,538,108.3333 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 | 25,614,325 | |
| -1 | -25,614,325 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
25,614,325 ÷ 4 = 6,403,581.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,403,581.25 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 | 25,614,325 | |
| -1 | 25,614,325 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 17 | 25 | 55 | 85 | 187 | 275 | 425 | 935 | 4,675 | 5,479 | 27,395 | 60,269 | 93,143 | 136,975 | 301,345 | 465,715 | 1,024,573 | 1,506,725 | 2,328,575 | 5,122,865 | 25,614,325 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -17 | -25 | -55 | -85 | -187 | -275 | -425 | -935 | -4,675 | -5,479 | -27,395 | -60,269 | -93,143 | -136,975 | -301,345 | -465,715 | -1,024,573 | -1,506,725 | -2,328,575 | -5,122,865 | -25,614,325 |
