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 750,182,171, 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 | 750,182,171 | |
| -1 | -750,182,171 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 750,182,171.
Example:
1 x 750,182,171 = 750,182,171
and
-1 x -750,182,171 = 750,182,171
Notice both answers equal 750,182,171
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 750,182,171 and divide it by 2:
750,182,171 ÷ 2 = 375,091,085.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 375,091,085.5 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 | 750,182,171 | |
| -1 | -750,182,171 |
Now, we try dividing 750,182,171 by 3:
750,182,171 ÷ 3 = 250,060,723.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 250,060,723.6667 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 | 750,182,171 | |
| -1 | -750,182,171 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
750,182,171 ÷ 4 = 187,545,542.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 187,545,542.75 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 | 750,182,171 | |
| -1 | 750,182,171 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 43 | 641 | 731 | 1,601 | 10,897 | 27,217 | 27,563 | 68,843 | 468,571 | 1,026,241 | 1,170,331 | 17,446,097 | 44,128,363 | 750,182,171 |
| -1 | -17 | -43 | -641 | -731 | -1,601 | -10,897 | -27,217 | -27,563 | -68,843 | -468,571 | -1,026,241 | -1,170,331 | -17,446,097 | -44,128,363 | -750,182,171 |
