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 26,302,525, 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 | 26,302,525 | |
| -1 | -26,302,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,302,525.
Example:
1 x 26,302,525 = 26,302,525
and
-1 x -26,302,525 = 26,302,525
Notice both answers equal 26,302,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,302,525 and divide it by 2:
26,302,525 ÷ 2 = 13,151,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,151,262.5 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 | 26,302,525 | |
| -1 | -26,302,525 |
Now, we try dividing 26,302,525 by 3:
26,302,525 ÷ 3 = 8,767,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,767,508.3333 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 | 26,302,525 | |
| -1 | -26,302,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,302,525 ÷ 4 = 6,575,631.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,575,631.25 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 | 26,302,525 | |
| -1 | 26,302,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 41 | 67 | 205 | 335 | 383 | 1,025 | 1,675 | 1,915 | 2,747 | 9,575 | 13,735 | 15,703 | 25,661 | 68,675 | 78,515 | 128,305 | 392,575 | 641,525 | 1,052,101 | 5,260,505 | 26,302,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -41 | -67 | -205 | -335 | -383 | -1,025 | -1,675 | -1,915 | -2,747 | -9,575 | -13,735 | -15,703 | -25,661 | -68,675 | -78,515 | -128,305 | -392,575 | -641,525 | -1,052,101 | -5,260,505 | -26,302,525 |
