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 176,016,623, 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 | 176,016,623 | |
| -1 | -176,016,623 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 176,016,623.
Example:
1 x 176,016,623 = 176,016,623
and
-1 x -176,016,623 = 176,016,623
Notice both answers equal 176,016,623
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 176,016,623 and divide it by 2:
176,016,623 ÷ 2 = 88,008,311.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 88,008,311.5 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 | 176,016,623 | |
| -1 | -176,016,623 |
Now, we try dividing 176,016,623 by 3:
176,016,623 ÷ 3 = 58,672,207.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,672,207.6667 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 | 176,016,623 | |
| -1 | -176,016,623 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
176,016,623 ÷ 4 = 44,004,155.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 44,004,155.75 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 | 176,016,623 | |
| -1 | 176,016,623 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 151 | 191 | 359 | 2,567 | 3,247 | 6,103 | 28,841 | 54,209 | 68,569 | 490,297 | 921,553 | 1,165,673 | 10,353,919 | 176,016,623 |
| -1 | -17 | -151 | -191 | -359 | -2,567 | -3,247 | -6,103 | -28,841 | -54,209 | -68,569 | -490,297 | -921,553 | -1,165,673 | -10,353,919 | -176,016,623 |
