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 170,435,335, 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 | 170,435,335 | |
| -1 | -170,435,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 170,435,335.
Example:
1 x 170,435,335 = 170,435,335
and
-1 x -170,435,335 = 170,435,335
Notice both answers equal 170,435,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 170,435,335 and divide it by 2:
170,435,335 ÷ 2 = 85,217,667.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 85,217,667.5 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 | 170,435,335 | |
| -1 | -170,435,335 |
Now, we try dividing 170,435,335 by 3:
170,435,335 ÷ 3 = 56,811,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 56,811,778.3333 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 | 170,435,335 | |
| -1 | -170,435,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
170,435,335 ÷ 4 = 42,608,833.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 42,608,833.75 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 | 170,435,335 | |
| -1 | 170,435,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 283 | 1,415 | 1,981 | 9,905 | 17,207 | 86,035 | 120,449 | 602,245 | 4,869,581 | 24,347,905 | 34,087,067 | 170,435,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -283 | -1,415 | -1,981 | -9,905 | -17,207 | -86,035 | -120,449 | -602,245 | -4,869,581 | -24,347,905 | -34,087,067 | -170,435,335 |
