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 106,104,607, 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 | 106,104,607 | |
| -1 | -106,104,607 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,104,607.
Example:
1 x 106,104,607 = 106,104,607
and
-1 x -106,104,607 = 106,104,607
Notice both answers equal 106,104,607
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,104,607 and divide it by 2:
106,104,607 ÷ 2 = 53,052,303.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,052,303.5 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 | 106,104,607 | |
| -1 | -106,104,607 |
Now, we try dividing 106,104,607 by 3:
106,104,607 ÷ 3 = 35,368,202.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,368,202.3333 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 | 106,104,607 | |
| -1 | -106,104,607 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,104,607 ÷ 4 = 26,526,151.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,526,151.75 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 | 106,104,607 | |
| -1 | 106,104,607 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 43 | 133 | 301 | 817 | 5,719 | 18,553 | 129,871 | 352,507 | 797,779 | 2,467,549 | 5,584,453 | 15,157,801 | 106,104,607 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -43 | -133 | -301 | -817 | -5,719 | -18,553 | -129,871 | -352,507 | -797,779 | -2,467,549 | -5,584,453 | -15,157,801 | -106,104,607 |
