How do I find the factor combinations of the number 176,004,740?

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 176,004,740, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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.

1 176,004,740
-1 -176,004,740

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 176,004,740.

Example:
1 x 176,004,740 = 176,004,740
and
-1 x -176,004,740 = 176,004,740
Notice both answers equal 176,004,740

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 176,004,740 and divide it by 2:

176,004,740 ÷ 2 = 88,002,370

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 88,002,370 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 88,002,370 176,004,740
-1 -2 -88,002,370 -176,004,740

Now, we try dividing 176,004,740 by 3:

176,004,740 ÷ 3 = 58,668,246.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,668,246.6667 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 2 88,002,370 176,004,740
-1 -2 -88,002,370 -176,004,740

Let's try dividing by 4:

176,004,740 ÷ 4 = 44,001,185

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 44,001,185 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 4 44,001,185 88,002,370 176,004,740
-1 -2 -4 -44,001,185 -88,002,370 176,004,740
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
