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 62,002,465, 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 | 62,002,465 | |
| -1 | -62,002,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,002,465.
Example:
1 x 62,002,465 = 62,002,465
and
-1 x -62,002,465 = 62,002,465
Notice both answers equal 62,002,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,002,465 and divide it by 2:
62,002,465 ÷ 2 = 31,001,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,001,232.5 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 | 62,002,465 | |
| -1 | -62,002,465 |
Now, we try dividing 62,002,465 by 3:
62,002,465 ÷ 3 = 20,667,488.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,667,488.3333 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 | 62,002,465 | |
| -1 | -62,002,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,002,465 ÷ 4 = 15,500,616.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,500,616.25 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 | 62,002,465 | |
| -1 | 62,002,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 233 | 1,165 | 1,631 | 7,603 | 8,155 | 38,015 | 53,221 | 266,105 | 1,771,499 | 8,857,495 | 12,400,493 | 62,002,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -233 | -1,165 | -1,631 | -7,603 | -8,155 | -38,015 | -53,221 | -266,105 | -1,771,499 | -8,857,495 | -12,400,493 | -62,002,465 |
