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 76,737,371, 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 | 76,737,371 | |
| -1 | -76,737,371 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 76,737,371.
Example:
1 x 76,737,371 = 76,737,371
and
-1 x -76,737,371 = 76,737,371
Notice both answers equal 76,737,371
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 76,737,371 and divide it by 2:
76,737,371 ÷ 2 = 38,368,685.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 38,368,685.5 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 | 76,737,371 | |
| -1 | -76,737,371 |
Now, we try dividing 76,737,371 by 3:
76,737,371 ÷ 3 = 25,579,123.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 25,579,123.6667 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 | 76,737,371 | |
| -1 | -76,737,371 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
76,737,371 ÷ 4 = 19,184,342.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 19,184,342.75 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 | 76,737,371 | |
| -1 | 76,737,371 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 37 | 323 | 629 | 703 | 6,421 | 11,951 | 109,157 | 121,999 | 237,577 | 2,073,983 | 4,038,809 | 4,513,963 | 76,737,371 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -37 | -323 | -629 | -703 | -6,421 | -11,951 | -109,157 | -121,999 | -237,577 | -2,073,983 | -4,038,809 | -4,513,963 | -76,737,371 |
