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 160,852,297, 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 | 160,852,297 | |
| -1 | -160,852,297 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 160,852,297.
Example:
1 x 160,852,297 = 160,852,297
and
-1 x -160,852,297 = 160,852,297
Notice both answers equal 160,852,297
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 160,852,297 and divide it by 2:
160,852,297 ÷ 2 = 80,426,148.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 80,426,148.5 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 | 160,852,297 | |
| -1 | -160,852,297 |
Now, we try dividing 160,852,297 by 3:
160,852,297 ÷ 3 = 53,617,432.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 53,617,432.3333 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 | 160,852,297 | |
| -1 | -160,852,297 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
160,852,297 ÷ 4 = 40,213,074.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 40,213,074.25 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 | 160,852,297 | |
| -1 | 160,852,297 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 53 | 101 | 151 | 199 | 5,353 | 8,003 | 10,547 | 15,251 | 20,099 | 30,049 | 808,303 | 1,065,247 | 1,592,597 | 3,034,949 | 160,852,297 |
| -1 | -53 | -101 | -151 | -199 | -5,353 | -8,003 | -10,547 | -15,251 | -20,099 | -30,049 | -808,303 | -1,065,247 | -1,592,597 | -3,034,949 | -160,852,297 |
