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 107,977,063, 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 | 107,977,063 | |
| -1 | -107,977,063 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 107,977,063.
Example:
1 x 107,977,063 = 107,977,063
and
-1 x -107,977,063 = 107,977,063
Notice both answers equal 107,977,063
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 107,977,063 and divide it by 2:
107,977,063 ÷ 2 = 53,988,531.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 53,988,531.5 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 | 107,977,063 | |
| -1 | -107,977,063 |
Now, we try dividing 107,977,063 by 3:
107,977,063 ÷ 3 = 35,992,354.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 35,992,354.3333 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 | 107,977,063 | |
| -1 | -107,977,063 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
107,977,063 ÷ 4 = 26,994,265.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 26,994,265.75 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 | 107,977,063 | |
| -1 | 107,977,063 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 37 | 103 | 977 | 1,073 | 2,987 | 3,811 | 28,333 | 36,149 | 100,631 | 110,519 | 1,048,321 | 2,918,299 | 3,723,347 | 107,977,063 |
| -1 | -29 | -37 | -103 | -977 | -1,073 | -2,987 | -3,811 | -28,333 | -36,149 | -100,631 | -110,519 | -1,048,321 | -2,918,299 | -3,723,347 | -107,977,063 |
