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 163,203,565, 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 | 163,203,565 | |
| -1 | -163,203,565 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 163,203,565.
Example:
1 x 163,203,565 = 163,203,565
and
-1 x -163,203,565 = 163,203,565
Notice both answers equal 163,203,565
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 163,203,565 and divide it by 2:
163,203,565 ÷ 2 = 81,601,782.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 81,601,782.5 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 | 163,203,565 | |
| -1 | -163,203,565 |
Now, we try dividing 163,203,565 by 3:
163,203,565 ÷ 3 = 54,401,188.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 54,401,188.3333 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 | 163,203,565 | |
| -1 | -163,203,565 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
163,203,565 ÷ 4 = 40,800,891.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 40,800,891.25 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 | 163,203,565 | |
| -1 | 163,203,565 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 245 | 751 | 887 | 3,755 | 4,435 | 5,257 | 6,209 | 26,285 | 31,045 | 36,799 | 43,463 | 183,995 | 217,315 | 666,137 | 3,330,685 | 4,662,959 | 23,314,795 | 32,640,713 | 163,203,565 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -245 | -751 | -887 | -3,755 | -4,435 | -5,257 | -6,209 | -26,285 | -31,045 | -36,799 | -43,463 | -183,995 | -217,315 | -666,137 | -3,330,685 | -4,662,959 | -23,314,795 | -32,640,713 | -163,203,565 |
