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 62,044,079, 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 | 62,044,079 | |
| -1 | -62,044,079 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,044,079.
Example:
1 x 62,044,079 = 62,044,079
and
-1 x -62,044,079 = 62,044,079
Notice both answers equal 62,044,079
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,044,079 and divide it by 2:
62,044,079 ÷ 2 = 31,022,039.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,022,039.5 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 | 62,044,079 | |
| -1 | -62,044,079 |
Now, we try dividing 62,044,079 by 3:
62,044,079 ÷ 3 = 20,681,359.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,681,359.6667 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 | 62,044,079 | |
| -1 | -62,044,079 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,044,079 ÷ 4 = 15,511,019.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,511,019.75 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 | 62,044,079 | |
| -1 | 62,044,079 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 29 | 37 | 53 | 1,073 | 1,091 | 1,537 | 1,961 | 31,639 | 40,367 | 56,869 | 57,823 | 1,170,643 | 1,676,867 | 2,139,451 | 62,044,079 |
| -1 | -29 | -37 | -53 | -1,073 | -1,091 | -1,537 | -1,961 | -31,639 | -40,367 | -56,869 | -57,823 | -1,170,643 | -1,676,867 | -2,139,451 | -62,044,079 |
