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 37,056,877, 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 | 37,056,877 | |
| -1 | -37,056,877 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 37,056,877.
Example:
1 x 37,056,877 = 37,056,877
and
-1 x -37,056,877 = 37,056,877
Notice both answers equal 37,056,877
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 37,056,877 and divide it by 2:
37,056,877 ÷ 2 = 18,528,438.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,528,438.5 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 | 37,056,877 | |
| -1 | -37,056,877 |
Now, we try dividing 37,056,877 by 3:
37,056,877 ÷ 3 = 12,352,292.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,352,292.3333 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 | 37,056,877 | |
| -1 | -37,056,877 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
37,056,877 ÷ 4 = 9,264,219.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,264,219.25 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 | 37,056,877 | |
| -1 | 37,056,877 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 143 | 479 | 541 | 5,269 | 5,951 | 6,227 | 7,033 | 68,497 | 77,363 | 259,139 | 2,850,529 | 3,368,807 | 37,056,877 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -143 | -479 | -541 | -5,269 | -5,951 | -6,227 | -7,033 | -68,497 | -77,363 | -259,139 | -2,850,529 | -3,368,807 | -37,056,877 |
