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 176,514,445, 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 | 176,514,445 | |
| -1 | -176,514,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 176,514,445.
Example:
1 x 176,514,445 = 176,514,445
and
-1 x -176,514,445 = 176,514,445
Notice both answers equal 176,514,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 176,514,445 and divide it by 2:
176,514,445 ÷ 2 = 88,257,222.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 88,257,222.5 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 | 176,514,445 | |
| -1 | -176,514,445 |
Now, we try dividing 176,514,445 by 3:
176,514,445 ÷ 3 = 58,838,148.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,838,148.3333 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 | 176,514,445 | |
| -1 | -176,514,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
176,514,445 ÷ 4 = 44,128,611.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 44,128,611.25 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 | 176,514,445 | |
| -1 | 176,514,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 617 | 1,973 | 3,085 | 9,865 | 17,893 | 57,217 | 89,465 | 286,085 | 1,217,341 | 6,086,705 | 35,302,889 | 176,514,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -617 | -1,973 | -3,085 | -9,865 | -17,893 | -57,217 | -89,465 | -286,085 | -1,217,341 | -6,086,705 | -35,302,889 | -176,514,445 |
