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 25,926,923, 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 | 25,926,923 | |
| -1 | -25,926,923 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 25,926,923.
Example:
1 x 25,926,923 = 25,926,923
and
-1 x -25,926,923 = 25,926,923
Notice both answers equal 25,926,923
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 25,926,923 and divide it by 2:
25,926,923 ÷ 2 = 12,963,461.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 12,963,461.5 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 | 25,926,923 | |
| -1 | -25,926,923 |
Now, we try dividing 25,926,923 by 3:
25,926,923 ÷ 3 = 8,642,307.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,642,307.6667 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 | 25,926,923 | |
| -1 | -25,926,923 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
25,926,923 ÷ 4 = 6,481,730.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,481,730.75 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 | 25,926,923 | |
| -1 | 25,926,923 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 67 | 127 | 277 | 737 | 1,397 | 3,047 | 8,509 | 18,559 | 35,179 | 93,599 | 204,149 | 386,969 | 2,356,993 | 25,926,923 |
| -1 | -11 | -67 | -127 | -277 | -737 | -1,397 | -3,047 | -8,509 | -18,559 | -35,179 | -93,599 | -204,149 | -386,969 | -2,356,993 | -25,926,923 |
