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 26,250,521, 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 | 26,250,521 | |
| -1 | -26,250,521 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,250,521.
Example:
1 x 26,250,521 = 26,250,521
and
-1 x -26,250,521 = 26,250,521
Notice both answers equal 26,250,521
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,250,521 and divide it by 2:
26,250,521 ÷ 2 = 13,125,260.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,125,260.5 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 | 26,250,521 | |
| -1 | -26,250,521 |
Now, we try dividing 26,250,521 by 3:
26,250,521 ÷ 3 = 8,750,173.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,750,173.6667 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 | 26,250,521 | |
| -1 | -26,250,521 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,250,521 ÷ 4 = 6,562,630.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,562,630.25 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 | 26,250,521 | |
| -1 | 26,250,521 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 31 | 253 | 341 | 713 | 3,347 | 7,843 | 36,817 | 76,981 | 103,757 | 846,791 | 1,141,327 | 2,386,411 | 26,250,521 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -31 | -253 | -341 | -713 | -3,347 | -7,843 | -36,817 | -76,981 | -103,757 | -846,791 | -1,141,327 | -2,386,411 | -26,250,521 |
