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 170,137,627, 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 | 170,137,627 | |
| -1 | -170,137,627 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 170,137,627.
Example:
1 x 170,137,627 = 170,137,627
and
-1 x -170,137,627 = 170,137,627
Notice both answers equal 170,137,627
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 170,137,627 and divide it by 2:
170,137,627 ÷ 2 = 85,068,813.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 85,068,813.5 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 | 170,137,627 | |
| -1 | -170,137,627 |
Now, we try dividing 170,137,627 by 3:
170,137,627 ÷ 3 = 56,712,542.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 56,712,542.3333 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 | 170,137,627 | |
| -1 | -170,137,627 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
170,137,627 ÷ 4 = 42,534,406.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 42,534,406.75 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 | 170,137,627 | |
| -1 | 170,137,627 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 43 | 223 | 473 | 1,613 | 2,453 | 9,589 | 17,743 | 69,359 | 105,479 | 359,699 | 762,949 | 3,956,689 | 15,467,057 | 170,137,627 |
| -1 | -11 | -43 | -223 | -473 | -1,613 | -2,453 | -9,589 | -17,743 | -69,359 | -105,479 | -359,699 | -762,949 | -3,956,689 | -15,467,057 | -170,137,627 |
