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 26,852,111, 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 | 26,852,111 | |
| -1 | -26,852,111 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 26,852,111.
Example:
1 x 26,852,111 = 26,852,111
and
-1 x -26,852,111 = 26,852,111
Notice both answers equal 26,852,111
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 26,852,111 and divide it by 2:
26,852,111 ÷ 2 = 13,426,055.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 13,426,055.5 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 | 26,852,111 | |
| -1 | -26,852,111 |
Now, we try dividing 26,852,111 by 3:
26,852,111 ÷ 3 = 8,950,703.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 8,950,703.6667 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 | 26,852,111 | |
| -1 | -26,852,111 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
26,852,111 ÷ 4 = 6,713,027.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 6,713,027.75 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 | 26,852,111 | |
| -1 | 26,852,111 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 19 | 143 | 209 | 247 | 2,717 | 9,883 | 108,713 | 128,479 | 187,777 | 1,413,269 | 2,065,547 | 2,441,101 | 26,852,111 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -19 | -143 | -209 | -247 | -2,717 | -9,883 | -108,713 | -128,479 | -187,777 | -1,413,269 | -2,065,547 | -2,441,101 | -26,852,111 |
