How do I find the factor combinations of the number 205,167,067?

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 205,167,067, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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.

1 205,167,067
-1 -205,167,067

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 205,167,067.

Example:
1 x 205,167,067 = 205,167,067
and
-1 x -205,167,067 = 205,167,067
Notice both answers equal 205,167,067

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 205,167,067 and divide it by 2:

205,167,067 ÷ 2 = 102,583,533.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 102,583,533.5 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:

1 205,167,067
-1 -205,167,067

Now, we try dividing 205,167,067 by 3:

205,167,067 ÷ 3 = 68,389,022.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 68,389,022.3333 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:

1 205,167,067
-1 -205,167,067

Let's try dividing by 4:

205,167,067 ÷ 4 = 51,291,766.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 51,291,766.75 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:

1 205,167,067
-1 205,167,067
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

171749711194978331,2073,4693,4798,44924,28358,97359,143169,981246,299412,8111,724,0932,889,6774,187,08312,068,65129,309,581205,167,067
