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 170,452,633, 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 | 170,452,633 | |
| -1 | -170,452,633 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 170,452,633.
Example:
1 x 170,452,633 = 170,452,633
and
-1 x -170,452,633 = 170,452,633
Notice both answers equal 170,452,633
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 170,452,633 and divide it by 2:
170,452,633 ÷ 2 = 85,226,316.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 85,226,316.5 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 | 170,452,633 | |
| -1 | -170,452,633 |
Now, we try dividing 170,452,633 by 3:
170,452,633 ÷ 3 = 56,817,544.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 56,817,544.3333 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 | 170,452,633 | |
| -1 | -170,452,633 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
170,452,633 ÷ 4 = 42,613,158.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 42,613,158.25 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 | 170,452,633 | |
| -1 | 170,452,633 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 281 | 377 | 1,609 | 3,653 | 8,149 | 20,917 | 46,661 | 105,937 | 452,129 | 606,593 | 5,877,677 | 13,111,741 | 170,452,633 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -281 | -377 | -1,609 | -3,653 | -8,149 | -20,917 | -46,661 | -105,937 | -452,129 | -606,593 | -5,877,677 | -13,111,741 | -170,452,633 |
