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 26,066,375, 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 | 26,066,375 | |
| -1 | -26,066,375 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,066,375.
Example:
1 x 26,066,375 = 26,066,375
and
-1 x -26,066,375 = 26,066,375
Notice both answers equal 26,066,375
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,066,375 and divide it by 2:
26,066,375 ÷ 2 = 13,033,187.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,033,187.5 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 | 26,066,375 | |
| -1 | -26,066,375 |
Now, we try dividing 26,066,375 by 3:
26,066,375 ÷ 3 = 8,688,791.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,688,791.6667 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 | 26,066,375 | |
| -1 | -26,066,375 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,066,375 ÷ 4 = 6,516,593.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,516,593.75 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 | 26,066,375 | |
| -1 | 26,066,375 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 151 | 755 | 1,381 | 3,775 | 6,905 | 18,875 | 34,525 | 172,625 | 208,531 | 1,042,655 | 5,213,275 | 26,066,375 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -151 | -755 | -1,381 | -3,775 | -6,905 | -18,875 | -34,525 | -172,625 | -208,531 | -1,042,655 | -5,213,275 | -26,066,375 |
