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 185,833,055, 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 | 185,833,055 | |
| -1 | -185,833,055 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 185,833,055.
Example:
1 x 185,833,055 = 185,833,055
and
-1 x -185,833,055 = 185,833,055
Notice both answers equal 185,833,055
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 185,833,055 and divide it by 2:
185,833,055 ÷ 2 = 92,916,527.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 92,916,527.5 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 | 185,833,055 | |
| -1 | -185,833,055 |
Now, we try dividing 185,833,055 by 3:
185,833,055 ÷ 3 = 61,944,351.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 61,944,351.6667 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 | 185,833,055 | |
| -1 | -185,833,055 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
185,833,055 ÷ 4 = 46,458,263.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 46,458,263.75 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 | 185,833,055 | |
| -1 | 185,833,055 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 37 | 185 | 197 | 985 | 5,099 | 7,289 | 25,495 | 36,445 | 188,663 | 943,315 | 1,004,503 | 5,022,515 | 37,166,611 | 185,833,055 |
| -1 | -5 | -37 | -185 | -197 | -985 | -5,099 | -7,289 | -25,495 | -36,445 | -188,663 | -943,315 | -1,004,503 | -5,022,515 | -37,166,611 | -185,833,055 |
