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 106,034,899, 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 | 106,034,899 | |
| -1 | -106,034,899 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,034,899.
Example:
1 x 106,034,899 = 106,034,899
and
-1 x -106,034,899 = 106,034,899
Notice both answers equal 106,034,899
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,034,899 and divide it by 2:
106,034,899 ÷ 2 = 53,017,449.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,017,449.5 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 | 106,034,899 | |
| -1 | -106,034,899 |
Now, we try dividing 106,034,899 by 3:
106,034,899 ÷ 3 = 35,344,966.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,344,966.3333 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 | 106,034,899 | |
| -1 | -106,034,899 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,034,899 ÷ 4 = 26,508,724.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,508,724.75 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 | 106,034,899 | |
| -1 | 106,034,899 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 139 | 391 | 1,951 | 2,363 | 3,197 | 33,167 | 44,873 | 54,349 | 271,189 | 762,841 | 4,610,213 | 6,237,347 | 106,034,899 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -139 | -391 | -1,951 | -2,363 | -3,197 | -33,167 | -44,873 | -54,349 | -271,189 | -762,841 | -4,610,213 | -6,237,347 | -106,034,899 |
