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 62,015,717, 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 | 62,015,717 | |
| -1 | -62,015,717 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,015,717.
Example:
1 x 62,015,717 = 62,015,717
and
-1 x -62,015,717 = 62,015,717
Notice both answers equal 62,015,717
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,015,717 and divide it by 2:
62,015,717 ÷ 2 = 31,007,858.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,007,858.5 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 | 62,015,717 | |
| -1 | -62,015,717 |
Now, we try dividing 62,015,717 by 3:
62,015,717 ÷ 3 = 20,671,905.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,671,905.6667 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 | 62,015,717 | |
| -1 | -62,015,717 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,015,717 ÷ 4 = 15,503,929.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,503,929.25 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 | 62,015,717 | |
| -1 | 62,015,717 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 31 | 101 | 683 | 899 | 2,929 | 3,131 | 19,807 | 21,173 | 68,983 | 90,799 | 614,017 | 2,000,507 | 2,138,473 | 62,015,717 |
| -1 | -29 | -31 | -101 | -683 | -899 | -2,929 | -3,131 | -19,807 | -21,173 | -68,983 | -90,799 | -614,017 | -2,000,507 | -2,138,473 | -62,015,717 |
