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 184,668,445, 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 | 184,668,445 | |
| -1 | -184,668,445 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 184,668,445.
Example:
1 x 184,668,445 = 184,668,445
and
-1 x -184,668,445 = 184,668,445
Notice both answers equal 184,668,445
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 184,668,445 and divide it by 2:
184,668,445 ÷ 2 = 92,334,222.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 92,334,222.5 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 | 184,668,445 | |
| -1 | -184,668,445 |
Now, we try dividing 184,668,445 by 3:
184,668,445 ÷ 3 = 61,556,148.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 61,556,148.3333 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 | 184,668,445 | |
| -1 | -184,668,445 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
184,668,445 ÷ 4 = 46,167,111.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 46,167,111.25 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 | 184,668,445 | |
| -1 | 184,668,445 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 43 | 65 | 215 | 559 | 2,795 | 66,071 | 330,355 | 858,923 | 2,841,053 | 4,294,615 | 14,205,265 | 36,933,689 | 184,668,445 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -43 | -65 | -215 | -559 | -2,795 | -66,071 | -330,355 | -858,923 | -2,841,053 | -4,294,615 | -14,205,265 | -36,933,689 | -184,668,445 |
