Given a convex, $n$-sided polygon $P$, form a $2n$-sided polygon $\text{clip}(P)$ by cutting off each corner of $P$ at the edges' trisection points. In other words, $\text{clip}(P)$ is the polygon whose vertices are the $2n$ edge trisection points of $P$, connected in order around the boundary of $P$. Let $P_1$ be an isosceles trapezoid with side lengths $13,13,13,$ and $3$, and for each $i\geq 2$, let $P_i=\text{clip}(P_{i-1}).$ This iterative clipping process approaches a limiting shape $P_\infty=\lim_{i\to\infty}P_i$. If the difference of the areas of $P_{10}$ and $P_\infty$ is written as a fraction $\tfrac xy$ in lowest terms, calculate the number of positive integer factors of $x\cdot y$.
