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 175,737,457, 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 | 175,737,457 | |
| -1 | -175,737,457 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 175,737,457.
Example:
1 x 175,737,457 = 175,737,457
and
-1 x -175,737,457 = 175,737,457
Notice both answers equal 175,737,457
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 175,737,457 and divide it by 2:
175,737,457 ÷ 2 = 87,868,728.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 87,868,728.5 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 | 175,737,457 | |
| -1 | -175,737,457 |
Now, we try dividing 175,737,457 by 3:
175,737,457 ÷ 3 = 58,579,152.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,579,152.3333 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 | 175,737,457 | |
| -1 | -175,737,457 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
175,737,457 ÷ 4 = 43,934,364.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 43,934,364.25 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 | 175,737,457 | |
| -1 | 175,737,457 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 37 | 161 | 259 | 851 | 5,957 | 29,501 | 206,507 | 678,523 | 1,091,537 | 4,749,661 | 7,640,759 | 25,105,351 | 175,737,457 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -37 | -161 | -259 | -851 | -5,957 | -29,501 | -206,507 | -678,523 | -1,091,537 | -4,749,661 | -7,640,759 | -25,105,351 | -175,737,457 |
