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 62,020,357, 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 | 62,020,357 | |
| -1 | -62,020,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,020,357.
Example:
1 x 62,020,357 = 62,020,357
and
-1 x -62,020,357 = 62,020,357
Notice both answers equal 62,020,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,020,357 and divide it by 2:
62,020,357 ÷ 2 = 31,010,178.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,010,178.5 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 | 62,020,357 | |
| -1 | -62,020,357 |
Now, we try dividing 62,020,357 by 3:
62,020,357 ÷ 3 = 20,673,452.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,673,452.3333 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 | 62,020,357 | |
| -1 | -62,020,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,020,357 ÷ 4 = 15,505,089.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,505,089.25 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 | 62,020,357 | |
| -1 | 62,020,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 29 | 193 | 203 | 1,351 | 1,583 | 5,597 | 11,081 | 39,179 | 45,907 | 305,519 | 321,349 | 2,138,633 | 8,860,051 | 62,020,357 |
| -1 | -7 | -29 | -193 | -203 | -1,351 | -1,583 | -5,597 | -11,081 | -39,179 | -45,907 | -305,519 | -321,349 | -2,138,633 | -8,860,051 | -62,020,357 |
