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 37,750,135, 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 | 37,750,135 | |
| -1 | -37,750,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 37,750,135.
Example:
1 x 37,750,135 = 37,750,135
and
-1 x -37,750,135 = 37,750,135
Notice both answers equal 37,750,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 37,750,135 and divide it by 2:
37,750,135 ÷ 2 = 18,875,067.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 18,875,067.5 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 | 37,750,135 | |
| -1 | -37,750,135 |
Now, we try dividing 37,750,135 by 3:
37,750,135 ÷ 3 = 12,583,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 12,583,378.3333 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 | 37,750,135 | |
| -1 | -37,750,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
37,750,135 ÷ 4 = 9,437,533.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 9,437,533.75 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 | 37,750,135 | |
| -1 | 37,750,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 107 | 205 | 535 | 1,721 | 4,387 | 8,605 | 21,935 | 70,561 | 184,147 | 352,805 | 920,735 | 7,550,027 | 37,750,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -107 | -205 | -535 | -1,721 | -4,387 | -8,605 | -21,935 | -70,561 | -184,147 | -352,805 | -920,735 | -7,550,027 | -37,750,135 |
