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 26,462,425, 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 | 26,462,425 | |
| -1 | -26,462,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,462,425.
Example:
1 x 26,462,425 = 26,462,425
and
-1 x -26,462,425 = 26,462,425
Notice both answers equal 26,462,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,462,425 and divide it by 2:
26,462,425 ÷ 2 = 13,231,212.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,231,212.5 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 | 26,462,425 | |
| -1 | -26,462,425 |
Now, we try dividing 26,462,425 by 3:
26,462,425 ÷ 3 = 8,820,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,820,808.3333 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 | 26,462,425 | |
| -1 | -26,462,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,462,425 ÷ 4 = 6,615,606.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,615,606.25 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 | 26,462,425 | |
| -1 | 26,462,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 41 | 55 | 205 | 275 | 451 | 1,025 | 2,255 | 2,347 | 11,275 | 11,735 | 25,817 | 58,675 | 96,227 | 129,085 | 481,135 | 645,425 | 1,058,497 | 2,405,675 | 5,292,485 | 26,462,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -41 | -55 | -205 | -275 | -451 | -1,025 | -2,255 | -2,347 | -11,275 | -11,735 | -25,817 | -58,675 | -96,227 | -129,085 | -481,135 | -645,425 | -1,058,497 | -2,405,675 | -5,292,485 | -26,462,425 |
