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 170,344,525, 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 | 170,344,525 | |
| -1 | -170,344,525 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 170,344,525.
Example:
1 x 170,344,525 = 170,344,525
and
-1 x -170,344,525 = 170,344,525
Notice both answers equal 170,344,525
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 170,344,525 and divide it by 2:
170,344,525 ÷ 2 = 85,172,262.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 85,172,262.5 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 | 170,344,525 | |
| -1 | -170,344,525 |
Now, we try dividing 170,344,525 by 3:
170,344,525 ÷ 3 = 56,781,508.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 56,781,508.3333 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 | 170,344,525 | |
| -1 | -170,344,525 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
170,344,525 ÷ 4 = 42,586,131.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 42,586,131.25 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 | 170,344,525 | |
| -1 | 170,344,525 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 25 | 65 | 325 | 557 | 941 | 2,785 | 4,705 | 7,241 | 12,233 | 13,925 | 23,525 | 36,205 | 61,165 | 181,025 | 305,825 | 524,137 | 2,620,685 | 6,813,781 | 13,103,425 | 34,068,905 | 170,344,525 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -25 | -65 | -325 | -557 | -941 | -2,785 | -4,705 | -7,241 | -12,233 | -13,925 | -23,525 | -36,205 | -61,165 | -181,025 | -305,825 | -524,137 | -2,620,685 | -6,813,781 | -13,103,425 | -34,068,905 | -170,344,525 |
