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 62,124,125, 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 | 62,124,125 | |
| -1 | -62,124,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,124,125.
Example:
1 x 62,124,125 = 62,124,125
and
-1 x -62,124,125 = 62,124,125
Notice both answers equal 62,124,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,124,125 and divide it by 2:
62,124,125 ÷ 2 = 31,062,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,062,062.5 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 | 62,124,125 | |
| -1 | -62,124,125 |
Now, we try dividing 62,124,125 by 3:
62,124,125 ÷ 3 = 20,708,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,708,041.6667 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 | 62,124,125 | |
| -1 | -62,124,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,124,125 ÷ 4 = 15,531,031.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,531,031.25 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 | 62,124,125 | |
| -1 | 62,124,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 25 | 35 | 125 | 175 | 875 | 70,999 | 354,995 | 496,993 | 1,774,975 | 2,484,965 | 8,874,875 | 12,424,825 | 62,124,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -25 | -35 | -125 | -175 | -875 | -70,999 | -354,995 | -496,993 | -1,774,975 | -2,484,965 | -8,874,875 | -12,424,825 | -62,124,125 |
