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 26,011,037, 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 | 26,011,037 | |
| -1 | -26,011,037 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,011,037.
Example:
1 x 26,011,037 = 26,011,037
and
-1 x -26,011,037 = 26,011,037
Notice both answers equal 26,011,037
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,011,037 and divide it by 2:
26,011,037 ÷ 2 = 13,005,518.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,005,518.5 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 | 26,011,037 | |
| -1 | -26,011,037 |
Now, we try dividing 26,011,037 by 3:
26,011,037 ÷ 3 = 8,670,345.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,670,345.6667 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 | 26,011,037 | |
| -1 | -26,011,037 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,011,037 ÷ 4 = 6,502,759.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,502,759.25 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 | 26,011,037 | |
| -1 | 26,011,037 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 37 | 221 | 481 | 629 | 3,181 | 8,177 | 41,353 | 54,077 | 117,697 | 703,001 | 1,530,061 | 2,000,849 | 26,011,037 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -37 | -221 | -481 | -629 | -3,181 | -8,177 | -41,353 | -54,077 | -117,697 | -703,001 | -1,530,061 | -2,000,849 | -26,011,037 |
