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 26,652,625, 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 | 26,652,625 | |
| -1 | -26,652,625 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,652,625.
Example:
1 x 26,652,625 = 26,652,625
and
-1 x -26,652,625 = 26,652,625
Notice both answers equal 26,652,625
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,652,625 and divide it by 2:
26,652,625 ÷ 2 = 13,326,312.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,326,312.5 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 | 26,652,625 | |
| -1 | -26,652,625 |
Now, we try dividing 26,652,625 by 3:
26,652,625 ÷ 3 = 8,884,208.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,884,208.3333 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 | 26,652,625 | |
| -1 | -26,652,625 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,652,625 ÷ 4 = 6,663,156.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,663,156.25 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 | 26,652,625 | |
| -1 | 26,652,625 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 79 | 125 | 395 | 1,975 | 2,699 | 9,875 | 13,495 | 67,475 | 213,221 | 337,375 | 1,066,105 | 5,330,525 | 26,652,625 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -79 | -125 | -395 | -1,975 | -2,699 | -9,875 | -13,495 | -67,475 | -213,221 | -337,375 | -1,066,105 | -5,330,525 | -26,652,625 |
