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 160,248, 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 | 160,248 | |
| -1 | -160,248 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 160,248.
Example:
1 x 160,248 = 160,248
and
-1 x -160,248 = 160,248
Notice both answers equal 160,248
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 160,248 and divide it by 2:
160,248 ÷ 2 = 80,124
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 80,124 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 80,124 | 160,248 | |
| -1 | -2 | -80,124 | -160,248 |
Now, we try dividing 160,248 by 3:
160,248 ÷ 3 = 53,416
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 53,416 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 53,416 | 80,124 | 160,248 | |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -53,416 | -80,124 | -160,248 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
160,248 ÷ 4 = 40,062
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 40,062 are factors. In this case, the quotient is a whole number. Write them in the table inside the other two factors like the below example. Don't forget to write the negative numbers too!
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 40,062 | 53,416 | 80,124 | 160,248 | |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -40,062 | -53,416 | -80,124 | 160,248 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 11 | 12 | 22 | 24 | 33 | 44 | 66 | 88 | 132 | 264 | 607 | 1,214 | 1,821 | 2,428 | 3,642 | 4,856 | 6,677 | 7,284 | 13,354 | 14,568 | 20,031 | 26,708 | 40,062 | 53,416 | 80,124 | 160,248 |
| -1 | -2 | -3 | -4 | -6 | -8 | -11 | -12 | -22 | -24 | -33 | -44 | -66 | -88 | -132 | -264 | -607 | -1,214 | -1,821 | -2,428 | -3,642 | -4,856 | -6,677 | -7,284 | -13,354 | -14,568 | -20,031 | -26,708 | -40,062 | -53,416 | -80,124 | -160,248 |
