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 164,101,343, 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 | 164,101,343 | |
| -1 | -164,101,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 164,101,343.
Example:
1 x 164,101,343 = 164,101,343
and
-1 x -164,101,343 = 164,101,343
Notice both answers equal 164,101,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 164,101,343 and divide it by 2:
164,101,343 ÷ 2 = 82,050,671.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 82,050,671.5 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 | 164,101,343 | |
| -1 | -164,101,343 |
Now, we try dividing 164,101,343 by 3:
164,101,343 ÷ 3 = 54,700,447.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 54,700,447.6667 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 | 164,101,343 | |
| -1 | -164,101,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
164,101,343 ÷ 4 = 41,025,335.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 41,025,335.75 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 | 164,101,343 | |
| -1 | 164,101,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 29 | 49 | 161 | 203 | 667 | 1,127 | 1,421 | 4,669 | 5,021 | 32,683 | 35,147 | 115,483 | 145,609 | 246,029 | 808,381 | 1,019,263 | 3,349,007 | 5,658,667 | 7,134,841 | 23,443,049 | 164,101,343 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -29 | -49 | -161 | -203 | -667 | -1,127 | -1,421 | -4,669 | -5,021 | -32,683 | -35,147 | -115,483 | -145,609 | -246,029 | -808,381 | -1,019,263 | -3,349,007 | -5,658,667 | -7,134,841 | -23,443,049 | -164,101,343 |
