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 176,246,105, 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 | 176,246,105 | |
| -1 | -176,246,105 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 176,246,105.
Example:
1 x 176,246,105 = 176,246,105
and
-1 x -176,246,105 = 176,246,105
Notice both answers equal 176,246,105
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 176,246,105 and divide it by 2:
176,246,105 ÷ 2 = 88,123,052.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 88,123,052.5 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 | 176,246,105 | |
| -1 | -176,246,105 |
Now, we try dividing 176,246,105 by 3:
176,246,105 ÷ 3 = 58,748,701.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,748,701.6667 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 | 176,246,105 | |
| -1 | -176,246,105 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
176,246,105 ÷ 4 = 44,061,526.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 44,061,526.25 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 | 176,246,105 | |
| -1 | 176,246,105 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 827 | 4,135 | 5,789 | 6,089 | 28,945 | 30,445 | 42,623 | 213,115 | 5,035,603 | 25,178,015 | 35,249,221 | 176,246,105 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -827 | -4,135 | -5,789 | -6,089 | -28,945 | -30,445 | -42,623 | -213,115 | -5,035,603 | -25,178,015 | -35,249,221 | -176,246,105 |
