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 107,836,135, 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 | 107,836,135 | |
| -1 | -107,836,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 107,836,135.
Example:
1 x 107,836,135 = 107,836,135
and
-1 x -107,836,135 = 107,836,135
Notice both answers equal 107,836,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 107,836,135 and divide it by 2:
107,836,135 ÷ 2 = 53,918,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,918,067.5 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 | 107,836,135 | |
| -1 | -107,836,135 |
Now, we try dividing 107,836,135 by 3:
107,836,135 ÷ 3 = 35,945,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,945,378.3333 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 | 107,836,135 | |
| -1 | -107,836,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
107,836,135 ÷ 4 = 26,959,033.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,959,033.75 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 | 107,836,135 | |
| -1 | 107,836,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 31 | 55 | 155 | 341 | 1,705 | 63,247 | 316,235 | 695,717 | 1,960,657 | 3,478,585 | 9,803,285 | 21,567,227 | 107,836,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -31 | -55 | -155 | -341 | -1,705 | -63,247 | -316,235 | -695,717 | -1,960,657 | -3,478,585 | -9,803,285 | -21,567,227 | -107,836,135 |
