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 62,057,567, 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 | 62,057,567 | |
| -1 | -62,057,567 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,057,567.
Example:
1 x 62,057,567 = 62,057,567
and
-1 x -62,057,567 = 62,057,567
Notice both answers equal 62,057,567
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,057,567 and divide it by 2:
62,057,567 ÷ 2 = 31,028,783.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,028,783.5 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 | 62,057,567 | |
| -1 | -62,057,567 |
Now, we try dividing 62,057,567 by 3:
62,057,567 ÷ 3 = 20,685,855.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,685,855.6667 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 | 62,057,567 | |
| -1 | -62,057,567 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,057,567 ÷ 4 = 15,514,391.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,514,391.75 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 | 62,057,567 | |
| -1 | 62,057,567 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 31 | 143 | 341 | 403 | 4,433 | 13,999 | 153,989 | 181,987 | 433,969 | 2,001,857 | 4,773,659 | 5,641,597 | 62,057,567 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -31 | -143 | -341 | -403 | -4,433 | -13,999 | -153,989 | -181,987 | -433,969 | -2,001,857 | -4,773,659 | -5,641,597 | -62,057,567 |
