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 26,643,505, 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 | 26,643,505 | |
| -1 | -26,643,505 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,643,505.
Example:
1 x 26,643,505 = 26,643,505
and
-1 x -26,643,505 = 26,643,505
Notice both answers equal 26,643,505
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,643,505 and divide it by 2:
26,643,505 ÷ 2 = 13,321,752.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,321,752.5 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 | 26,643,505 | |
| -1 | -26,643,505 |
Now, we try dividing 26,643,505 by 3:
26,643,505 ÷ 3 = 8,881,168.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,881,168.3333 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 | 26,643,505 | |
| -1 | -26,643,505 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,643,505 ÷ 4 = 6,660,876.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,660,876.25 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 | 26,643,505 | |
| -1 | 26,643,505 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 17 | 35 | 49 | 85 | 119 | 245 | 595 | 833 | 4,165 | 6,397 | 31,985 | 44,779 | 108,749 | 223,895 | 313,453 | 543,745 | 761,243 | 1,567,265 | 3,806,215 | 5,328,701 | 26,643,505 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -17 | -35 | -49 | -85 | -119 | -245 | -595 | -833 | -4,165 | -6,397 | -31,985 | -44,779 | -108,749 | -223,895 | -313,453 | -543,745 | -761,243 | -1,567,265 | -3,806,215 | -5,328,701 | -26,643,505 |
