'''Analytical thinking''' is the process of [[Problem solving|breaking down complex problems]] or information into smaller and/or more manageable parts to better understand them and to find more optimal solutions. It involves such processes as identifying patterns, [[cause and effect]] relationships and other relationships, and underlying principles to gain a deeper understanding of the whole problem. This process can be used to make informed decisions, better solve problems, and develop new ideas.<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+analytic+thinking&sca_esv=1c28c6d12b6f9275&sxsrf=AE3TifNO5UEUnSFqkJSEyh4yUxgFhgMNSw%3A1754222141682&ei=PU6PaMW4KbOd0PEPl5GQsQE&ved=0ahUKEwiFy_Lcyu6OAxWzDjQIHZcIJBYQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=what+is+analytic+thinking&gs_lp=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&sclient=gws-wiz-serp What is analytical thinking?]</ref>

To break down a problem into smaller parts for analytical thinking, start by clearly defining the problem, then break it down into its core components or subproblems, analyze each part, and finally, synthesize the solutions to create a comprehensive solution. Techniques such as drill down, divide and conquer, and root cause analysis can be helpful.<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=analytic+thinking+how+do+you+break+a+problem+into+smaller+parts&oq=analytic+thinking+how+do+you+break+a+problem+into+smaller+parts&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjYyODZqMGoxqAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Analytic thinking how do you break a problem into smaller parts]</ref><ref>[https://www.linkedin.com/advice/3/how-can-you-break-down-complex-problems#:~:text=This%20might%20depend%20on%20their,to%20the%20original%20complex%20problem.&text=Breaking%20down%20complex%20problems%20involves,coherence%20and%20testing%20for%20validity.
