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 62,064,265, 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 | 62,064,265 | |
| -1 | -62,064,265 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,064,265.
Example:
1 x 62,064,265 = 62,064,265
and
-1 x -62,064,265 = 62,064,265
Notice both answers equal 62,064,265
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,064,265 and divide it by 2:
62,064,265 ÷ 2 = 31,032,132.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,032,132.5 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 | 62,064,265 | |
| -1 | -62,064,265 |
Now, we try dividing 62,064,265 by 3:
62,064,265 ÷ 3 = 20,688,088.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,688,088.3333 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 | 62,064,265 | |
| -1 | -62,064,265 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,064,265 ÷ 4 = 15,516,066.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,516,066.25 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 | 62,064,265 | |
| -1 | 62,064,265 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 127 | 215 | 635 | 2,273 | 5,461 | 11,365 | 27,305 | 97,739 | 288,671 | 488,695 | 1,443,355 | 12,412,853 | 62,064,265 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -127 | -215 | -635 | -2,273 | -5,461 | -11,365 | -27,305 | -97,739 | -288,671 | -488,695 | -1,443,355 | -12,412,853 | -62,064,265 |
