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 163,225,733, 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 | 163,225,733 | |
| -1 | -163,225,733 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 163,225,733.
Example:
1 x 163,225,733 = 163,225,733
and
-1 x -163,225,733 = 163,225,733
Notice both answers equal 163,225,733
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 163,225,733 and divide it by 2:
163,225,733 ÷ 2 = 81,612,866.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 81,612,866.5 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 | 163,225,733 | |
| -1 | -163,225,733 |
Now, we try dividing 163,225,733 by 3:
163,225,733 ÷ 3 = 54,408,577.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 54,408,577.6667 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 | 163,225,733 | |
| -1 | -163,225,733 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
163,225,733 ÷ 4 = 40,806,433.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 40,806,433.25 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 | 163,225,733 | |
| -1 | 163,225,733 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 89 | 121 | 253 | 659 | 979 | 2,047 | 2,783 | 7,249 | 10,769 | 15,157 | 22,517 | 58,651 | 79,739 | 166,727 | 247,687 | 645,161 | 1,348,973 | 1,833,997 | 7,096,771 | 14,838,703 | 163,225,733 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -89 | -121 | -253 | -659 | -979 | -2,047 | -2,783 | -7,249 | -10,769 | -15,157 | -22,517 | -58,651 | -79,739 | -166,727 | -247,687 | -645,161 | -1,348,973 | -1,833,997 | -7,096,771 | -14,838,703 | -163,225,733 |
