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 26,230,633, 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 | 26,230,633 | |
| -1 | -26,230,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,230,633.
Example:
1 x 26,230,633 = 26,230,633
and
-1 x -26,230,633 = 26,230,633
Notice both answers equal 26,230,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,230,633 and divide it by 2:
26,230,633 ÷ 2 = 13,115,316.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,115,316.5 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 | 26,230,633 | |
| -1 | -26,230,633 |
Now, we try dividing 26,230,633 by 3:
26,230,633 ÷ 3 = 8,743,544.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,743,544.3333 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 | 26,230,633 | |
| -1 | -26,230,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,230,633 ÷ 4 = 6,557,658.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,557,658.25 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 | 26,230,633 | |
| -1 | 26,230,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 59 | 143 | 649 | 767 | 3,109 | 8,437 | 34,199 | 40,417 | 183,431 | 444,587 | 2,017,741 | 2,384,603 | 26,230,633 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -59 | -143 | -649 | -767 | -3,109 | -8,437 | -34,199 | -40,417 | -183,431 | -444,587 | -2,017,741 | -2,384,603 | -26,230,633 |
