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 175,075,673, 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 | 175,075,673 | |
| -1 | -175,075,673 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 175,075,673.
Example:
1 x 175,075,673 = 175,075,673
and
-1 x -175,075,673 = 175,075,673
Notice both answers equal 175,075,673
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 175,075,673 and divide it by 2:
175,075,673 ÷ 2 = 87,537,836.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 87,537,836.5 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 | 175,075,673 | |
| -1 | -175,075,673 |
Now, we try dividing 175,075,673 by 3:
175,075,673 ÷ 3 = 58,358,557.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,358,557.6667 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 | 175,075,673 | |
| -1 | -175,075,673 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
175,075,673 ÷ 4 = 43,768,918.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 43,768,918.25 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 | 175,075,673 | |
| -1 | 175,075,673 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 61 | 197 | 857 | 1,037 | 3,349 | 12,017 | 14,569 | 52,277 | 168,829 | 204,289 | 888,709 | 2,870,093 | 10,298,569 | 175,075,673 |
| -1 | -17 | -61 | -197 | -857 | -1,037 | -3,349 | -12,017 | -14,569 | -52,277 | -168,829 | -204,289 | -888,709 | -2,870,093 | -10,298,569 | -175,075,673 |
