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 26,632,999, 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 | 26,632,999 | |
| -1 | -26,632,999 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,632,999.
Example:
1 x 26,632,999 = 26,632,999
and
-1 x -26,632,999 = 26,632,999
Notice both answers equal 26,632,999
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,632,999 and divide it by 2:
26,632,999 ÷ 2 = 13,316,499.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,316,499.5 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 | 26,632,999 | |
| -1 | -26,632,999 |
Now, we try dividing 26,632,999 by 3:
26,632,999 ÷ 3 = 8,877,666.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,877,666.3333 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 | 26,632,999 | |
| -1 | -26,632,999 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,632,999 ÷ 4 = 6,658,249.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,658,249.75 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 | 26,632,999 | |
| -1 | 26,632,999 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 31 | 97 | 521 | 527 | 1,649 | 3,007 | 8,857 | 16,151 | 50,537 | 51,119 | 274,567 | 859,129 | 1,566,647 | 26,632,999 |
| -1 | -17 | -31 | -97 | -521 | -527 | -1,649 | -3,007 | -8,857 | -16,151 | -50,537 | -51,119 | -274,567 | -859,129 | -1,566,647 | -26,632,999 |
