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 37,150,085, 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 | 37,150,085 | |
| -1 | -37,150,085 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 37,150,085.
Example:
1 x 37,150,085 = 37,150,085
and
-1 x -37,150,085 = 37,150,085
Notice both answers equal 37,150,085
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 37,150,085 and divide it by 2:
37,150,085 ÷ 2 = 18,575,042.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,575,042.5 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 | 37,150,085 | |
| -1 | -37,150,085 |
Now, we try dividing 37,150,085 by 3:
37,150,085 ÷ 3 = 12,383,361.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,383,361.6667 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 | 37,150,085 | |
| -1 | -37,150,085 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
37,150,085 ÷ 4 = 9,287,521.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,287,521.25 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 | 37,150,085 | |
| -1 | 37,150,085 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 53 | 245 | 265 | 371 | 1,855 | 2,597 | 2,861 | 12,985 | 14,305 | 20,027 | 100,135 | 140,189 | 151,633 | 700,945 | 758,165 | 1,061,431 | 5,307,155 | 7,430,017 | 37,150,085 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -53 | -245 | -265 | -371 | -1,855 | -2,597 | -2,861 | -12,985 | -14,305 | -20,027 | -100,135 | -140,189 | -151,633 | -700,945 | -758,165 | -1,061,431 | -5,307,155 | -7,430,017 | -37,150,085 |
