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 163,276,333, 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 | 163,276,333 | |
| -1 | -163,276,333 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 163,276,333.
Example:
1 x 163,276,333 = 163,276,333
and
-1 x -163,276,333 = 163,276,333
Notice both answers equal 163,276,333
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 163,276,333 and divide it by 2:
163,276,333 ÷ 2 = 81,638,166.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 81,638,166.5 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 | 163,276,333 | |
| -1 | -163,276,333 |
Now, we try dividing 163,276,333 by 3:
163,276,333 ÷ 3 = 54,425,444.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 54,425,444.3333 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 | 163,276,333 | |
| -1 | -163,276,333 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
163,276,333 ÷ 4 = 40,819,083.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 40,819,083.25 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 | 163,276,333 | |
| -1 | 163,276,333 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 23 | 227 | 253 | 2,497 | 2,843 | 5,221 | 31,273 | 57,431 | 65,389 | 645,361 | 719,279 | 7,098,971 | 14,843,303 | 163,276,333 |
| -1 | -11 | -23 | -227 | -253 | -2,497 | -2,843 | -5,221 | -31,273 | -57,431 | -65,389 | -645,361 | -719,279 | -7,098,971 | -14,843,303 | -163,276,333 |
