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 36,787,933, 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 | 36,787,933 | |
| -1 | -36,787,933 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 36,787,933.
Example:
1 x 36,787,933 = 36,787,933
and
-1 x -36,787,933 = 36,787,933
Notice both answers equal 36,787,933
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 36,787,933 and divide it by 2:
36,787,933 ÷ 2 = 18,393,966.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,393,966.5 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 | 36,787,933 | |
| -1 | -36,787,933 |
Now, we try dividing 36,787,933 by 3:
36,787,933 ÷ 3 = 12,262,644.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,262,644.3333 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 | 36,787,933 | |
| -1 | -36,787,933 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
36,787,933 ÷ 4 = 9,196,983.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,196,983.25 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 | 36,787,933 | |
| -1 | 36,787,933 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 19 | 91 | 133 | 247 | 1,729 | 21,277 | 148,939 | 276,601 | 404,263 | 1,936,207 | 2,829,841 | 5,255,419 | 36,787,933 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -19 | -91 | -133 | -247 | -1,729 | -21,277 | -148,939 | -276,601 | -404,263 | -1,936,207 | -2,829,841 | -5,255,419 | -36,787,933 |
