How do I find the factor combinations of the number 170,134,075?

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 170,134,075, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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.

1 170,134,075
-1 -170,134,075

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 170,134,075.

Example:
1 x 170,134,075 = 170,134,075
and
-1 x -170,134,075 = 170,134,075
Notice both answers equal 170,134,075

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 170,134,075 and divide it by 2:

170,134,075 ÷ 2 = 85,067,037.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 85,067,037.5 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:

1 170,134,075
-1 -170,134,075

Now, we try dividing 170,134,075 by 3:

170,134,075 ÷ 3 = 56,711,358.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 56,711,358.3333 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:

1 170,134,075
-1 -170,134,075

Let's try dividing by 4:

170,134,075 ÷ 4 = 42,533,518.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 42,533,518.75 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:

1 170,134,075
-1 170,134,075
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

151925952514751,2551,4274,7696,2757,13523,84527,11335,675119,225135,565358,177677,8251,790,8856,805,3638,954,42534,026,815170,134,075
