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 106,236,163, 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 | 106,236,163 | |
| -1 | -106,236,163 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,236,163.
Example:
1 x 106,236,163 = 106,236,163
and
-1 x -106,236,163 = 106,236,163
Notice both answers equal 106,236,163
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,236,163 and divide it by 2:
106,236,163 ÷ 2 = 53,118,081.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,118,081.5 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 | 106,236,163 | |
| -1 | -106,236,163 |
Now, we try dividing 106,236,163 by 3:
106,236,163 ÷ 3 = 35,412,054.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,412,054.3333 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 | 106,236,163 | |
| -1 | -106,236,163 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,236,163 ÷ 4 = 26,559,040.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,559,040.75 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 | 106,236,163 | |
| -1 | 106,236,163 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 31 | 209 | 341 | 361 | 589 | 863 | 3,971 | 6,479 | 9,493 | 11,191 | 16,397 | 26,753 | 123,101 | 180,367 | 294,283 | 311,543 | 508,307 | 3,426,973 | 5,591,377 | 9,657,833 | 106,236,163 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -31 | -209 | -341 | -361 | -589 | -863 | -3,971 | -6,479 | -9,493 | -11,191 | -16,397 | -26,753 | -123,101 | -180,367 | -294,283 | -311,543 | -508,307 | -3,426,973 | -5,591,377 | -9,657,833 | -106,236,163 |
