To break down a problem for analytical thinking, begin by clearly defining the problem (Define the problem so its unambiguous. Identify the root cause or causes. Determine the scope of the problem.) and then divide it into smaller, manageable parts. Analyze each component individually (Especially looking at key components of the problem and how the elements of the problem interact with each other and how much they contribute to the whole problem), considering its relationship to the whole problem, and then synthesize your findings to develop a comprehensive solution.<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=%22How+to+break+down+a+problem+into+parts%22+analytic+thinking&sca_esv=38b8b35f2fe0540c&ei=ltOSaKicGaeHptQPr9uGyQ0&ved=0ahUKEwiov8eopvWOAxWng4kEHa-tIdkQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=%22How+to+break+down+a+problem+into+parts%22+analytic+thinking&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiOiJIb3cgdG8gYnJlYWsgZG93biBhIHByb2JsZW0gaW50byBwYXJ0cyIgYW5hbHl0aWMgdGhpbmtpbmcyBRAAGO8FMggQABiABBiiBDIIEAAYogQYiQUyBRAAGO8FMggQABiiBBiJBUjLL1C7EVirLXACeAGQAQCYAaABoAGFAqoBAzAuMrgBA8gBAPgBAZgCBKAClQLCAgoQABiwAxjWBBhHwgIIECEYoAEYwwSYAwCIBgGQBgiSBwMyLjKgB4cLsgcDMC4yuAeMAsIHBTAuMS4zyAcM&sclient=gws-wiz-serp How to break down a problem into parts for analytic thinking]</ref>

For more information, please see: [[Drill down technique]]

As noted above, the drill down method of problem solving is a technique that involves breaking down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable parts in order to identify the root cause and find a workable/better/optimal solution. It's a process of progressively examining more specific details within a problem to understand its various underlying components.<ref>
