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 26,655,083, 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 | 26,655,083 | |
| -1 | -26,655,083 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,655,083.
Example:
1 x 26,655,083 = 26,655,083
and
-1 x -26,655,083 = 26,655,083
Notice both answers equal 26,655,083
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,655,083 and divide it by 2:
26,655,083 ÷ 2 = 13,327,541.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,327,541.5 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 | 26,655,083 | |
| -1 | -26,655,083 |
Now, we try dividing 26,655,083 by 3:
26,655,083 ÷ 3 = 8,885,027.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,885,027.6667 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 | 26,655,083 | |
| -1 | -26,655,083 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,655,083 ÷ 4 = 6,663,770.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,663,770.75 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 | 26,655,083 | |
| -1 | 26,655,083 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 499 | 587 | 3,493 | 4,109 | 6,487 | 7,631 | 45,409 | 53,417 | 292,913 | 2,050,391 | 3,807,869 | 26,655,083 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -499 | -587 | -3,493 | -4,109 | -6,487 | -7,631 | -45,409 | -53,417 | -292,913 | -2,050,391 | -3,807,869 | -26,655,083 |
