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 176,610,301, 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 | 176,610,301 | |
| -1 | -176,610,301 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 176,610,301.
Example:
1 x 176,610,301 = 176,610,301
and
-1 x -176,610,301 = 176,610,301
Notice both answers equal 176,610,301
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 176,610,301 and divide it by 2:
176,610,301 ÷ 2 = 88,305,150.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 88,305,150.5 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 | 176,610,301 | |
| -1 | -176,610,301 |
Now, we try dividing 176,610,301 by 3:
176,610,301 ÷ 3 = 58,870,100.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 58,870,100.3333 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 | 176,610,301 | |
| -1 | -176,610,301 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
176,610,301 ÷ 4 = 44,152,575.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 44,152,575.25 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 | 176,610,301 | |
| -1 | 176,610,301 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 133 | 523 | 2,539 | 3,661 | 9,937 | 17,773 | 48,241 | 69,559 | 337,687 | 1,327,897 | 9,295,279 | 25,230,043 | 176,610,301 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -133 | -523 | -2,539 | -3,661 | -9,937 | -17,773 | -48,241 | -69,559 | -337,687 | -1,327,897 | -9,295,279 | -25,230,043 | -176,610,301 |
