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 174,084,335, 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 | 174,084,335 | |
| -1 | -174,084,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 174,084,335.
Example:
1 x 174,084,335 = 174,084,335
and
-1 x -174,084,335 = 174,084,335
Notice both answers equal 174,084,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 174,084,335 and divide it by 2:
174,084,335 ÷ 2 = 87,042,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 87,042,167.5 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 | 174,084,335 | |
| -1 | -174,084,335 |
Now, we try dividing 174,084,335 by 3:
174,084,335 ÷ 3 = 58,028,111.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,028,111.6667 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 | 174,084,335 | |
| -1 | -174,084,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
174,084,335 ÷ 4 = 43,521,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 43,521,083.75 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 | 174,084,335 | |
| -1 | 174,084,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 85 | 521 | 2,605 | 3,931 | 8,857 | 19,655 | 44,285 | 66,827 | 334,135 | 2,048,051 | 10,240,255 | 34,816,867 | 174,084,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -85 | -521 | -2,605 | -3,931 | -8,857 | -19,655 | -44,285 | -66,827 | -334,135 | -2,048,051 | -10,240,255 | -34,816,867 | -174,084,335 |
