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 37,337,671, 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 | 37,337,671 | |
| -1 | -37,337,671 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 37,337,671.
Example:
1 x 37,337,671 = 37,337,671
and
-1 x -37,337,671 = 37,337,671
Notice both answers equal 37,337,671
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 37,337,671 and divide it by 2:
37,337,671 ÷ 2 = 18,668,835.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,668,835.5 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 | 37,337,671 | |
| -1 | -37,337,671 |
Now, we try dividing 37,337,671 by 3:
37,337,671 ÷ 3 = 12,445,890.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,445,890.3333 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 | 37,337,671 | |
| -1 | -37,337,671 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
37,337,671 ÷ 4 = 9,334,417.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,334,417.75 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 | 37,337,671 | |
| -1 | 37,337,671 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 31 | 161 | 217 | 713 | 4,991 | 7,481 | 52,367 | 172,063 | 231,911 | 1,204,441 | 1,623,377 | 5,333,953 | 37,337,671 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -31 | -161 | -217 | -713 | -4,991 | -7,481 | -52,367 | -172,063 | -231,911 | -1,204,441 | -1,623,377 | -5,333,953 | -37,337,671 |
