How do I find the factor combinations of the number 70,106,101?

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 70,106,101, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 70,106,101
-1 -70,106,101

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 70,106,101.

Example:
1 x 70,106,101 = 70,106,101
and
-1 x -70,106,101 = 70,106,101
Notice both answers equal 70,106,101

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 70,106,101 and divide it by 2:

70,106,101 ÷ 2 = 35,053,050.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 35,053,050.5 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 70,106,101
-1 -70,106,101

Now, we try dividing 70,106,101 by 3:

70,106,101 ÷ 3 = 23,368,700.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 23,368,700.3333 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 70,106,101
-1 -70,106,101

Let's try dividing by 4:

70,106,101 ÷ 4 = 17,526,525.25

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 17,526,525.25 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 70,106,101
-1 70,106,101
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

1135979891697671,0271,1574,6615,2517,0319,97113,35115,04160,59368,26391,403414,829787,709887,4191,188,2395,392,77770,106,101
-1-13-59-79-89-169-767-1,027-1,157-4,661-5,251-7,031-9,971-13,351-15,041-60,593-68,263-91,403-414,829-787,709-887,419-1,188,239-5,392,777-70,106,101
