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 26,175,461, 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 | 26,175,461 | |
| -1 | -26,175,461 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,175,461.
Example:
1 x 26,175,461 = 26,175,461
and
-1 x -26,175,461 = 26,175,461
Notice both answers equal 26,175,461
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,175,461 and divide it by 2:
26,175,461 ÷ 2 = 13,087,730.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,087,730.5 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 | 26,175,461 | |
| -1 | -26,175,461 |
Now, we try dividing 26,175,461 by 3:
26,175,461 ÷ 3 = 8,725,153.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,725,153.6667 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 | 26,175,461 | |
| -1 | -26,175,461 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,175,461 ÷ 4 = 6,543,865.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,543,865.25 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 | 26,175,461 | |
| -1 | 26,175,461 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 83 | 221 | 1,079 | 1,411 | 1,427 | 18,343 | 18,551 | 24,259 | 118,441 | 315,367 | 1,539,733 | 2,013,497 | 26,175,461 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -83 | -221 | -1,079 | -1,411 | -1,427 | -18,343 | -18,551 | -24,259 | -118,441 | -315,367 | -1,539,733 | -2,013,497 | -26,175,461 |
