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 155,670,875, 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 | 155,670,875 | |
| -1 | -155,670,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 155,670,875.
Example:
1 x 155,670,875 = 155,670,875
and
-1 x -155,670,875 = 155,670,875
Notice both answers equal 155,670,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 155,670,875 and divide it by 2:
155,670,875 ÷ 2 = 77,835,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 77,835,437.5 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 | 155,670,875 | |
| -1 | -155,670,875 |
Now, we try dividing 155,670,875 by 3:
155,670,875 ÷ 3 = 51,890,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 51,890,291.6667 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 | 155,670,875 | |
| -1 | -155,670,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
155,670,875 ÷ 4 = 38,917,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 38,917,718.75 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 | 155,670,875 | |
| -1 | 155,670,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 733 | 1,699 | 3,665 | 8,495 | 18,325 | 42,475 | 91,625 | 212,375 | 1,245,367 | 6,226,835 | 31,134,175 | 155,670,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -733 | -1,699 | -3,665 | -8,495 | -18,325 | -42,475 | -91,625 | -212,375 | -1,245,367 | -6,226,835 | -31,134,175 | -155,670,875 |
