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 26,538,155, 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 | 26,538,155 | |
| -1 | -26,538,155 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,538,155.
Example:
1 x 26,538,155 = 26,538,155
and
-1 x -26,538,155 = 26,538,155
Notice both answers equal 26,538,155
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,538,155 and divide it by 2:
26,538,155 ÷ 2 = 13,269,077.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,269,077.5 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 | 26,538,155 | |
| -1 | -26,538,155 |
Now, we try dividing 26,538,155 by 3:
26,538,155 ÷ 3 = 8,846,051.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,846,051.6667 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 | 26,538,155 | |
| -1 | -26,538,155 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,538,155 ÷ 4 = 6,634,538.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,634,538.75 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 | 26,538,155 | |
| -1 | 26,538,155 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 49 | 95 | 133 | 245 | 665 | 931 | 4,655 | 5,701 | 28,505 | 39,907 | 108,319 | 199,535 | 279,349 | 541,595 | 758,233 | 1,396,745 | 3,791,165 | 5,307,631 | 26,538,155 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -49 | -95 | -133 | -245 | -665 | -931 | -4,655 | -5,701 | -28,505 | -39,907 | -108,319 | -199,535 | -279,349 | -541,595 | -758,233 | -1,396,745 | -3,791,165 | -5,307,631 | -26,538,155 |
