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 160,482,283, 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 | 160,482,283 | |
| -1 | -160,482,283 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 160,482,283.
Example:
1 x 160,482,283 = 160,482,283
and
-1 x -160,482,283 = 160,482,283
Notice both answers equal 160,482,283
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 160,482,283 and divide it by 2:
160,482,283 ÷ 2 = 80,241,141.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 80,241,141.5 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 | 160,482,283 | |
| -1 | -160,482,283 |
Now, we try dividing 160,482,283 by 3:
160,482,283 ÷ 3 = 53,494,094.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 53,494,094.3333 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 | 160,482,283 | |
| -1 | -160,482,283 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
160,482,283 ÷ 4 = 40,120,570.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 40,120,570.75 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 | 160,482,283 | |
| -1 | 160,482,283 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 481 | 557 | 599 | 7,241 | 7,787 | 20,609 | 22,163 | 267,917 | 288,119 | 333,643 | 4,337,359 | 12,344,791 | 160,482,283 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -481 | -557 | -599 | -7,241 | -7,787 | -20,609 | -22,163 | -267,917 | -288,119 | -333,643 | -4,337,359 | -12,344,791 | -160,482,283 |
