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 106,656,253, 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 | 106,656,253 | |
| -1 | -106,656,253 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,656,253.
Example:
1 x 106,656,253 = 106,656,253
and
-1 x -106,656,253 = 106,656,253
Notice both answers equal 106,656,253
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,656,253 and divide it by 2:
106,656,253 ÷ 2 = 53,328,126.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,328,126.5 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 | 106,656,253 | |
| -1 | -106,656,253 |
Now, we try dividing 106,656,253 by 3:
106,656,253 ÷ 3 = 35,552,084.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,552,084.3333 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 | 106,656,253 | |
| -1 | -106,656,253 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,656,253 ÷ 4 = 26,664,063.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,664,063.25 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 | 106,656,253 | |
| -1 | 106,656,253 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 19 | 97 | 209 | 1,067 | 1,843 | 5,261 | 20,273 | 57,871 | 99,959 | 510,317 | 1,099,549 | 5,613,487 | 9,696,023 | 106,656,253 |
| -1 | -11 | -19 | -97 | -209 | -1,067 | -1,843 | -5,261 | -20,273 | -57,871 | -99,959 | -510,317 | -1,099,549 | -5,613,487 | -9,696,023 | -106,656,253 |
