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 37,484,663, 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 | 37,484,663 | |
| -1 | -37,484,663 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 37,484,663.
Example:
1 x 37,484,663 = 37,484,663
and
-1 x -37,484,663 = 37,484,663
Notice both answers equal 37,484,663
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 37,484,663 and divide it by 2:
37,484,663 ÷ 2 = 18,742,331.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,742,331.5 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 | 37,484,663 | |
| -1 | -37,484,663 |
Now, we try dividing 37,484,663 by 3:
37,484,663 ÷ 3 = 12,494,887.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,494,887.6667 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 | 37,484,663 | |
| -1 | -37,484,663 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
37,484,663 ÷ 4 = 9,371,165.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,371,165.75 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 | 37,484,663 | |
| -1 | 37,484,663 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 37 | 71 | 703 | 751 | 1,349 | 2,627 | 14,269 | 27,787 | 49,913 | 53,321 | 527,953 | 1,013,099 | 1,972,877 | 37,484,663 |
| -1 | -19 | -37 | -71 | -703 | -751 | -1,349 | -2,627 | -14,269 | -27,787 | -49,913 | -53,321 | -527,953 | -1,013,099 | -1,972,877 | -37,484,663 |
