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 183,664,429, 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 | 183,664,429 | |
| -1 | -183,664,429 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 183,664,429.
Example:
1 x 183,664,429 = 183,664,429
and
-1 x -183,664,429 = 183,664,429
Notice both answers equal 183,664,429
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 183,664,429 and divide it by 2:
183,664,429 ÷ 2 = 91,832,214.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 91,832,214.5 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 | 183,664,429 | |
| -1 | -183,664,429 |
Now, we try dividing 183,664,429 by 3:
183,664,429 ÷ 3 = 61,221,476.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 61,221,476.3333 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 | 183,664,429 | |
| -1 | -183,664,429 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
183,664,429 ÷ 4 = 45,916,107.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 45,916,107.25 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 | 183,664,429 | |
| -1 | 183,664,429 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 31 | 167 | 403 | 2,171 | 2,729 | 5,177 | 35,477 | 67,301 | 84,599 | 455,743 | 1,099,787 | 5,924,659 | 14,128,033 | 183,664,429 |
| -1 | -13 | -31 | -167 | -403 | -2,171 | -2,729 | -5,177 | -35,477 | -67,301 | -84,599 | -455,743 | -1,099,787 | -5,924,659 | -14,128,033 | -183,664,429 |
