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 26,746,195, 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 | 26,746,195 | |
| -1 | -26,746,195 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,746,195.
Example:
1 x 26,746,195 = 26,746,195
and
-1 x -26,746,195 = 26,746,195
Notice both answers equal 26,746,195
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,746,195 and divide it by 2:
26,746,195 ÷ 2 = 13,373,097.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,373,097.5 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 | 26,746,195 | |
| -1 | -26,746,195 |
Now, we try dividing 26,746,195 by 3:
26,746,195 ÷ 3 = 8,915,398.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,915,398.3333 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 | 26,746,195 | |
| -1 | -26,746,195 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,746,195 ÷ 4 = 6,686,548.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,686,548.75 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 | 26,746,195 | |
| -1 | 26,746,195 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 787 | 971 | 3,935 | 4,855 | 5,509 | 6,797 | 27,545 | 33,985 | 764,177 | 3,820,885 | 5,349,239 | 26,746,195 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -787 | -971 | -3,935 | -4,855 | -5,509 | -6,797 | -27,545 | -33,985 | -764,177 | -3,820,885 | -5,349,239 | -26,746,195 |
