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 26,027,735, 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 | 26,027,735 | |
| -1 | -26,027,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,027,735.
Example:
1 x 26,027,735 = 26,027,735
and
-1 x -26,027,735 = 26,027,735
Notice both answers equal 26,027,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,027,735 and divide it by 2:
26,027,735 ÷ 2 = 13,013,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,013,867.5 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 | 26,027,735 | |
| -1 | -26,027,735 |
Now, we try dividing 26,027,735 by 3:
26,027,735 ÷ 3 = 8,675,911.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,675,911.6667 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 | 26,027,735 | |
| -1 | -26,027,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,027,735 ÷ 4 = 6,506,933.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,506,933.75 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 | 26,027,735 | |
| -1 | 26,027,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 131 | 395 | 503 | 655 | 2,515 | 10,349 | 39,737 | 51,745 | 65,893 | 198,685 | 329,465 | 5,205,547 | 26,027,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -131 | -395 | -503 | -655 | -2,515 | -10,349 | -39,737 | -51,745 | -65,893 | -198,685 | -329,465 | -5,205,547 | -26,027,735 |
