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 106,348,753, 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 | 106,348,753 | |
| -1 | -106,348,753 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,348,753.
Example:
1 x 106,348,753 = 106,348,753
and
-1 x -106,348,753 = 106,348,753
Notice both answers equal 106,348,753
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,348,753 and divide it by 2:
106,348,753 ÷ 2 = 53,174,376.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,174,376.5 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 | 106,348,753 | |
| -1 | -106,348,753 |
Now, we try dividing 106,348,753 by 3:
106,348,753 ÷ 3 = 35,449,584.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,449,584.3333 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 | 106,348,753 | |
| -1 | -106,348,753 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,348,753 ÷ 4 = 26,587,188.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,587,188.25 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 | 106,348,753 | |
| -1 | 106,348,753 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 601 | 1,487 | 4,207 | 10,217 | 10,409 | 25,279 | 71,519 | 176,953 | 893,687 | 6,255,809 | 15,192,679 | 106,348,753 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -601 | -1,487 | -4,207 | -10,217 | -10,409 | -25,279 | -71,519 | -176,953 | -893,687 | -6,255,809 | -15,192,679 | -106,348,753 |
