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 175,514,003, 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 | 175,514,003 | |
| -1 | -175,514,003 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 175,514,003.
Example:
1 x 175,514,003 = 175,514,003
and
-1 x -175,514,003 = 175,514,003
Notice both answers equal 175,514,003
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 175,514,003 and divide it by 2:
175,514,003 ÷ 2 = 87,757,001.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 87,757,001.5 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 | 175,514,003 | |
| -1 | -175,514,003 |
Now, we try dividing 175,514,003 by 3:
175,514,003 ÷ 3 = 58,504,667.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,504,667.6667 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 | 175,514,003 | |
| -1 | -175,514,003 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
175,514,003 ÷ 4 = 43,878,500.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 43,878,500.75 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 | 175,514,003 | |
| -1 | 175,514,003 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 43 | 203 | 301 | 1,247 | 8,729 | 20,107 | 140,749 | 583,103 | 864,601 | 4,081,721 | 6,052,207 | 25,073,429 | 175,514,003 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -43 | -203 | -301 | -1,247 | -8,729 | -20,107 | -140,749 | -583,103 | -864,601 | -4,081,721 | -6,052,207 | -25,073,429 | -175,514,003 |
