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 146,307,163, 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 | 146,307,163 | |
| -1 | -146,307,163 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 146,307,163.
Example:
1 x 146,307,163 = 146,307,163
and
-1 x -146,307,163 = 146,307,163
Notice both answers equal 146,307,163
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 146,307,163 and divide it by 2:
146,307,163 ÷ 2 = 73,153,581.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 73,153,581.5 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 | 146,307,163 | |
| -1 | -146,307,163 |
Now, we try dividing 146,307,163 by 3:
146,307,163 ÷ 3 = 48,769,054.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 48,769,054.3333 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 | 146,307,163 | |
| -1 | -146,307,163 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
146,307,163 ÷ 4 = 36,576,790.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 36,576,790.75 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 | 146,307,163 | |
| -1 | 146,307,163 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 67 | 263 | 361 | 437 | 1,273 | 1,541 | 4,997 | 6,049 | 8,303 | 17,621 | 24,187 | 29,279 | 94,943 | 114,931 | 334,799 | 405,283 | 556,301 | 2,183,689 | 6,361,181 | 7,700,377 | 146,307,163 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -67 | -263 | -361 | -437 | -1,273 | -1,541 | -4,997 | -6,049 | -8,303 | -17,621 | -24,187 | -29,279 | -94,943 | -114,931 | -334,799 | -405,283 | -556,301 | -2,183,689 | -6,361,181 | -7,700,377 | -146,307,163 |
