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 160,936,127, 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 | 160,936,127 | |
| -1 | -160,936,127 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 160,936,127.
Example:
1 x 160,936,127 = 160,936,127
and
-1 x -160,936,127 = 160,936,127
Notice both answers equal 160,936,127
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 160,936,127 and divide it by 2:
160,936,127 ÷ 2 = 80,468,063.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 80,468,063.5 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 | 160,936,127 | |
| -1 | -160,936,127 |
Now, we try dividing 160,936,127 by 3:
160,936,127 ÷ 3 = 53,645,375.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 53,645,375.6667 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 | 160,936,127 | |
| -1 | -160,936,127 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
160,936,127 ÷ 4 = 40,234,031.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 40,234,031.75 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 | 160,936,127 | |
| -1 | 160,936,127 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 17 | 101 | 187 | 1,111 | 1,717 | 8,521 | 18,887 | 93,731 | 144,857 | 860,621 | 1,593,427 | 9,466,831 | 14,630,557 | 160,936,127 |
| -1 | -11 | -17 | -101 | -187 | -1,111 | -1,717 | -8,521 | -18,887 | -93,731 | -144,857 | -860,621 | -1,593,427 | -9,466,831 | -14,630,557 | -160,936,127 |
