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 62,124,817, 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 | 62,124,817 | |
| -1 | -62,124,817 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,124,817.
Example:
1 x 62,124,817 = 62,124,817
and
-1 x -62,124,817 = 62,124,817
Notice both answers equal 62,124,817
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,124,817 and divide it by 2:
62,124,817 ÷ 2 = 31,062,408.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,062,408.5 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 | 62,124,817 | |
| -1 | -62,124,817 |
Now, we try dividing 62,124,817 by 3:
62,124,817 ÷ 3 = 20,708,272.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,708,272.3333 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 | 62,124,817 | |
| -1 | -62,124,817 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,124,817 ÷ 4 = 15,531,204.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,531,204.25 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 | 62,124,817 | |
| -1 | 62,124,817 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 59 | 391 | 1,003 | 1,357 | 2,693 | 23,069 | 45,781 | 61,939 | 158,887 | 1,052,963 | 2,701,079 | 3,654,401 | 62,124,817 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -59 | -391 | -1,003 | -1,357 | -2,693 | -23,069 | -45,781 | -61,939 | -158,887 | -1,052,963 | -2,701,079 | -3,654,401 | -62,124,817 |
