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 183,368,749, 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 | 183,368,749 | |
| -1 | -183,368,749 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 183,368,749.
Example:
1 x 183,368,749 = 183,368,749
and
-1 x -183,368,749 = 183,368,749
Notice both answers equal 183,368,749
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 183,368,749 and divide it by 2:
183,368,749 ÷ 2 = 91,684,374.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 91,684,374.5 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 | 183,368,749 | |
| -1 | -183,368,749 |
Now, we try dividing 183,368,749 by 3:
183,368,749 ÷ 3 = 61,122,916.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 61,122,916.3333 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 | 183,368,749 | |
| -1 | -183,368,749 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
183,368,749 ÷ 4 = 45,842,187.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 45,842,187.25 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 | 183,368,749 | |
| -1 | 183,368,749 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 67 | 199 | 809 | 1,139 | 3,383 | 13,333 | 13,753 | 54,203 | 160,991 | 226,661 | 921,451 | 2,736,847 | 10,786,397 | 183,368,749 |
| -1 | -17 | -67 | -199 | -809 | -1,139 | -3,383 | -13,333 | -13,753 | -54,203 | -160,991 | -226,661 | -921,451 | -2,736,847 | -10,786,397 | -183,368,749 |
