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 37,157,435, 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 | 37,157,435 | |
| -1 | -37,157,435 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 37,157,435.
Example:
1 x 37,157,435 = 37,157,435
and
-1 x -37,157,435 = 37,157,435
Notice both answers equal 37,157,435
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 37,157,435 and divide it by 2:
37,157,435 ÷ 2 = 18,578,717.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,578,717.5 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 | 37,157,435 | |
| -1 | -37,157,435 |
Now, we try dividing 37,157,435 by 3:
37,157,435 ÷ 3 = 12,385,811.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,385,811.6667 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 | 37,157,435 | |
| -1 | -37,157,435 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
37,157,435 ÷ 4 = 9,289,358.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,289,358.75 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 | 37,157,435 | |
| -1 | 37,157,435 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 49 | 185 | 245 | 259 | 1,295 | 1,813 | 4,099 | 9,065 | 20,495 | 28,693 | 143,465 | 151,663 | 200,851 | 758,315 | 1,004,255 | 1,061,641 | 5,308,205 | 7,431,487 | 37,157,435 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -49 | -185 | -245 | -259 | -1,295 | -1,813 | -4,099 | -9,065 | -20,495 | -28,693 | -143,465 | -151,663 | -200,851 | -758,315 | -1,004,255 | -1,061,641 | -5,308,205 | -7,431,487 | -37,157,435 |
