How do I find the factor combinations of the number 26,002,452?

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 26,002,452, 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 26,002,452
-1 -26,002,452

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 26,002,452.

Example:
1 x 26,002,452 = 26,002,452
and
-1 x -26,002,452 = 26,002,452
Notice both answers equal 26,002,452

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,002,452 and divide it by 2:

26,002,452 ÷ 2 = 13,001,226

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,001,226 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 13,001,226 26,002,452
-1 -2 -13,001,226 -26,002,452

Now, we try dividing 26,002,452 by 3:

26,002,452 ÷ 3 = 8,667,484

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,667,484 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 8,667,484 13,001,226 26,002,452
-1 -2 -3 -8,667,484 -13,001,226 -26,002,452

Let's try dividing by 4:

26,002,452 ÷ 4 = 6,500,613

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,500,613 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 6,500,613 8,667,484 13,001,226 26,002,452
-1 -2 -3 -4 -6,500,613 -8,667,484 -13,001,226 26,002,452
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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