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 62,017,535, 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 | 62,017,535 | |
| -1 | -62,017,535 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,017,535.
Example:
1 x 62,017,535 = 62,017,535
and
-1 x -62,017,535 = 62,017,535
Notice both answers equal 62,017,535
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,017,535 and divide it by 2:
62,017,535 ÷ 2 = 31,008,767.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,008,767.5 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 | 62,017,535 | |
| -1 | -62,017,535 |
Now, we try dividing 62,017,535 by 3:
62,017,535 ÷ 3 = 20,672,511.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,672,511.6667 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 | 62,017,535 | |
| -1 | -62,017,535 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,017,535 ÷ 4 = 15,504,383.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,504,383.75 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 | 62,017,535 | |
| -1 | 62,017,535 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 101 | 227 | 505 | 541 | 1,135 | 2,705 | 22,927 | 54,641 | 114,635 | 122,807 | 273,205 | 614,035 | 12,403,507 | 62,017,535 |
| -1 | -5 | -101 | -227 | -505 | -541 | -1,135 | -2,705 | -22,927 | -54,641 | -114,635 | -122,807 | -273,205 | -614,035 | -12,403,507 | -62,017,535 |
