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 106,061,051, 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 | 106,061,051 | |
| -1 | -106,061,051 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,061,051.
Example:
1 x 106,061,051 = 106,061,051
and
-1 x -106,061,051 = 106,061,051
Notice both answers equal 106,061,051
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,061,051 and divide it by 2:
106,061,051 ÷ 2 = 53,030,525.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,030,525.5 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 | 106,061,051 | |
| -1 | -106,061,051 |
Now, we try dividing 106,061,051 by 3:
106,061,051 ÷ 3 = 35,353,683.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,353,683.6667 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 | 106,061,051 | |
| -1 | -106,061,051 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,061,051 ÷ 4 = 26,515,262.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,515,262.75 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 | 106,061,051 | |
| -1 | 106,061,051 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 269 | 419 | 941 | 112,711 | 253,129 | 394,279 | 106,061,051 |
| -1 | -269 | -419 | -941 | -112,711 | -253,129 | -394,279 | -106,061,051 |
