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 167,050,933, 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 | 167,050,933 | |
| -1 | -167,050,933 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 167,050,933.
Example:
1 x 167,050,933 = 167,050,933
and
-1 x -167,050,933 = 167,050,933
Notice both answers equal 167,050,933
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 167,050,933 and divide it by 2:
167,050,933 ÷ 2 = 83,525,466.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 83,525,466.5 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 | 167,050,933 | |
| -1 | -167,050,933 |
Now, we try dividing 167,050,933 by 3:
167,050,933 ÷ 3 = 55,683,644.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 55,683,644.3333 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 | 167,050,933 | |
| -1 | -167,050,933 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
167,050,933 ÷ 4 = 41,762,733.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 41,762,733.25 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 | 167,050,933 | |
| -1 | 167,050,933 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 41 | 203 | 287 | 1,189 | 8,323 | 20,071 | 140,497 | 582,059 | 822,911 | 4,074,413 | 5,760,377 | 23,864,419 | 167,050,933 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -41 | -203 | -287 | -1,189 | -8,323 | -20,071 | -140,497 | -582,059 | -822,911 | -4,074,413 | -5,760,377 | -23,864,419 | -167,050,933 |
