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 26,507,155, 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 | 26,507,155 | |
| -1 | -26,507,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,507,155.
Example:
1 x 26,507,155 = 26,507,155
and
-1 x -26,507,155 = 26,507,155
Notice both answers equal 26,507,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,507,155 and divide it by 2:
26,507,155 ÷ 2 = 13,253,577.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,253,577.5 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 | 26,507,155 | |
| -1 | -26,507,155 |
Now, we try dividing 26,507,155 by 3:
26,507,155 ÷ 3 = 8,835,718.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,835,718.3333 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 | 26,507,155 | |
| -1 | -26,507,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,507,155 ÷ 4 = 6,626,788.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,626,788.75 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 | 26,507,155 | |
| -1 | 26,507,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 53 | 115 | 265 | 1,219 | 4,349 | 6,095 | 21,745 | 100,027 | 230,497 | 500,135 | 1,152,485 | 5,301,431 | 26,507,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -53 | -115 | -265 | -1,219 | -4,349 | -6,095 | -21,745 | -100,027 | -230,497 | -500,135 | -1,152,485 | -5,301,431 | -26,507,155 |
