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 106,022,665, 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 | 106,022,665 | |
| -1 | -106,022,665 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,022,665.
Example:
1 x 106,022,665 = 106,022,665
and
-1 x -106,022,665 = 106,022,665
Notice both answers equal 106,022,665
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,022,665 and divide it by 2:
106,022,665 ÷ 2 = 53,011,332.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,011,332.5 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 | 106,022,665 | |
| -1 | -106,022,665 |
Now, we try dividing 106,022,665 by 3:
106,022,665 ÷ 3 = 35,340,888.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,340,888.3333 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 | 106,022,665 | |
| -1 | -106,022,665 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,022,665 ÷ 4 = 26,505,666.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,505,666.25 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 | 106,022,665 | |
| -1 | 106,022,665 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 109 | 545 | 763 | 3,815 | 27,791 | 138,955 | 194,537 | 972,685 | 3,029,219 | 15,146,095 | 21,204,533 | 106,022,665 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -109 | -545 | -763 | -3,815 | -27,791 | -138,955 | -194,537 | -972,685 | -3,029,219 | -15,146,095 | -21,204,533 | -106,022,665 |
