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 184,060,015, 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 | 184,060,015 | |
| -1 | -184,060,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 184,060,015.
Example:
1 x 184,060,015 = 184,060,015
and
-1 x -184,060,015 = 184,060,015
Notice both answers equal 184,060,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 184,060,015 and divide it by 2:
184,060,015 ÷ 2 = 92,030,007.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 92,030,007.5 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 | 184,060,015 | |
| -1 | -184,060,015 |
Now, we try dividing 184,060,015 by 3:
184,060,015 ÷ 3 = 61,353,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 61,353,338.3333 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 | 184,060,015 | |
| -1 | -184,060,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
184,060,015 ÷ 4 = 46,015,003.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 46,015,003.75 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 | 184,060,015 | |
| -1 | 184,060,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 191 | 955 | 5,209 | 7,067 | 26,045 | 35,335 | 192,733 | 963,665 | 994,919 | 4,974,595 | 36,812,003 | 184,060,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -191 | -955 | -5,209 | -7,067 | -26,045 | -35,335 | -192,733 | -963,665 | -994,919 | -4,974,595 | -36,812,003 | -184,060,015 |
