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 37,579,295, 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 | 37,579,295 | |
| -1 | -37,579,295 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 37,579,295.
Example:
1 x 37,579,295 = 37,579,295
and
-1 x -37,579,295 = 37,579,295
Notice both answers equal 37,579,295
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 37,579,295 and divide it by 2:
37,579,295 ÷ 2 = 18,789,647.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,789,647.5 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 | 37,579,295 | |
| -1 | -37,579,295 |
Now, we try dividing 37,579,295 by 3:
37,579,295 ÷ 3 = 12,526,431.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,526,431.6667 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 | 37,579,295 | |
| -1 | -37,579,295 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
37,579,295 ÷ 4 = 9,394,823.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,394,823.75 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 | 37,579,295 | |
| -1 | 37,579,295 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 67 | 335 | 871 | 4,355 | 8,629 | 43,145 | 112,177 | 560,885 | 578,143 | 2,890,715 | 7,515,859 | 37,579,295 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -67 | -335 | -871 | -4,355 | -8,629 | -43,145 | -112,177 | -560,885 | -578,143 | -2,890,715 | -7,515,859 | -37,579,295 |
