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 106,230,635, 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 | 106,230,635 | |
| -1 | -106,230,635 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,230,635.
Example:
1 x 106,230,635 = 106,230,635
and
-1 x -106,230,635 = 106,230,635
Notice both answers equal 106,230,635
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,230,635 and divide it by 2:
106,230,635 ÷ 2 = 53,115,317.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,115,317.5 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 | 106,230,635 | |
| -1 | -106,230,635 |
Now, we try dividing 106,230,635 by 3:
106,230,635 ÷ 3 = 35,410,211.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,410,211.6667 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 | 106,230,635 | |
| -1 | -106,230,635 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,230,635 ÷ 4 = 26,557,658.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,557,658.75 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 | 106,230,635 | |
| -1 | 106,230,635 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 313 | 1,565 | 2,191 | 9,697 | 10,955 | 48,485 | 67,879 | 339,395 | 3,035,161 | 15,175,805 | 21,246,127 | 106,230,635 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -313 | -1,565 | -2,191 | -9,697 | -10,955 | -48,485 | -67,879 | -339,395 | -3,035,161 | -15,175,805 | -21,246,127 | -106,230,635 |
