While EditorID is a unique string used by the Creation Kit to identify a record, a formID is an 8 digit hexadecimal number used by the game to identify a record. In a formID, the first two digits refer to the position of the record's master file in your current load order, with the positions 00, 01 and FF being reserved for Skyrim.esm, Update.esm and the saved game respectively.
To see a formID in the Creation Kit, you'll need to expand the hidden column to the right of editorID in the object window.
