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 106,806,107, 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 | 106,806,107 | |
| -1 | -106,806,107 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 106,806,107.
Example:
1 x 106,806,107 = 106,806,107
and
-1 x -106,806,107 = 106,806,107
Notice both answers equal 106,806,107
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 106,806,107 and divide it by 2:
106,806,107 ÷ 2 = 53,403,053.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,403,053.5 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 | 106,806,107 | |
| -1 | -106,806,107 |
Now, we try dividing 106,806,107 by 3:
106,806,107 ÷ 3 = 35,602,035.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,602,035.6667 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 | 106,806,107 | |
| -1 | -106,806,107 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
106,806,107 ÷ 4 = 26,701,526.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,701,526.75 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 | 106,806,107 | |
| -1 | 106,806,107 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 41 | 59 | 67 | 659 | 2,419 | 2,747 | 3,953 | 27,019 | 38,881 | 44,153 | 162,073 | 1,594,121 | 1,810,273 | 2,605,027 | 106,806,107 |
| -1 | -41 | -59 | -67 | -659 | -2,419 | -2,747 | -3,953 | -27,019 | -38,881 | -44,153 | -162,073 | -1,594,121 | -1,810,273 | -2,605,027 | -106,806,107 |
