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 26,061,695, 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 | 26,061,695 | |
| -1 | -26,061,695 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,061,695.
Example:
1 x 26,061,695 = 26,061,695
and
-1 x -26,061,695 = 26,061,695
Notice both answers equal 26,061,695
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,061,695 and divide it by 2:
26,061,695 ÷ 2 = 13,030,847.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,030,847.5 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 | 26,061,695 | |
| -1 | -26,061,695 |
Now, we try dividing 26,061,695 by 3:
26,061,695 ÷ 3 = 8,687,231.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,687,231.6667 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 | 26,061,695 | |
| -1 | -26,061,695 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,061,695 ÷ 4 = 6,515,423.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,515,423.75 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 | 26,061,695 | |
| -1 | 26,061,695 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 613 | 773 | 3,065 | 3,865 | 6,743 | 8,503 | 33,715 | 42,515 | 473,849 | 2,369,245 | 5,212,339 | 26,061,695 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -613 | -773 | -3,065 | -3,865 | -6,743 | -8,503 | -33,715 | -42,515 | -473,849 | -2,369,245 | -5,212,339 | -26,061,695 |
