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 167,430,179, 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 | 167,430,179 | |
| -1 | -167,430,179 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 167,430,179.
Example:
1 x 167,430,179 = 167,430,179
and
-1 x -167,430,179 = 167,430,179
Notice both answers equal 167,430,179
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 167,430,179 and divide it by 2:
167,430,179 ÷ 2 = 83,715,089.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 83,715,089.5 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 | 167,430,179 | |
| -1 | -167,430,179 |
Now, we try dividing 167,430,179 by 3:
167,430,179 ÷ 3 = 55,810,059.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 55,810,059.6667 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 | 167,430,179 | |
| -1 | -167,430,179 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
167,430,179 ÷ 4 = 41,857,544.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 41,857,544.75 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 | 167,430,179 | |
| -1 | 167,430,179 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 113 | 161 | 791 | 2,599 | 9,203 | 18,193 | 64,421 | 211,669 | 1,039,939 | 1,481,683 | 7,279,573 | 23,918,597 | 167,430,179 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -113 | -161 | -791 | -2,599 | -9,203 | -18,193 | -64,421 | -211,669 | -1,039,939 | -1,481,683 | -7,279,573 | -23,918,597 | -167,430,179 |
