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 176,567,027, 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 | 176,567,027 | |
| -1 | -176,567,027 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 176,567,027.
Example:
1 x 176,567,027 = 176,567,027
and
-1 x -176,567,027 = 176,567,027
Notice both answers equal 176,567,027
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 176,567,027 and divide it by 2:
176,567,027 ÷ 2 = 88,283,513.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 88,283,513.5 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 | 176,567,027 | |
| -1 | -176,567,027 |
Now, we try dividing 176,567,027 by 3:
176,567,027 ÷ 3 = 58,855,675.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,855,675.6667 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 | 176,567,027 | |
| -1 | -176,567,027 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
176,567,027 ÷ 4 = 44,141,756.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 44,141,756.75 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 | 176,567,027 | |
| -1 | 176,567,027 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 91 | 269 | 1,883 | 3,497 | 7,213 | 24,479 | 50,491 | 93,769 | 656,383 | 1,940,297 | 13,582,079 | 25,223,861 | 176,567,027 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -91 | -269 | -1,883 | -3,497 | -7,213 | -24,479 | -50,491 | -93,769 | -656,383 | -1,940,297 | -13,582,079 | -25,223,861 | -176,567,027 |
