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 37,555,037, 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 | 37,555,037 | |
| -1 | -37,555,037 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 37,555,037.
Example:
1 x 37,555,037 = 37,555,037
and
-1 x -37,555,037 = 37,555,037
Notice both answers equal 37,555,037
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 37,555,037 and divide it by 2:
37,555,037 ÷ 2 = 18,777,518.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,777,518.5 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 | 37,555,037 | |
| -1 | -37,555,037 |
Now, we try dividing 37,555,037 by 3:
37,555,037 ÷ 3 = 12,518,345.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,518,345.6667 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 | 37,555,037 | |
| -1 | -37,555,037 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
37,555,037 ÷ 4 = 9,388,759.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,388,759.25 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 | 37,555,037 | |
| -1 | 37,555,037 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 37 | 163 | 479 | 481 | 2,119 | 6,031 | 6,227 | 17,723 | 78,077 | 78,403 | 230,399 | 1,015,001 | 2,888,849 | 37,555,037 |
| -1 | -13 | -37 | -163 | -479 | -481 | -2,119 | -6,031 | -6,227 | -17,723 | -78,077 | -78,403 | -230,399 | -1,015,001 | -2,888,849 | -37,555,037 |
