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 62,307,179, 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 | 62,307,179 | |
| -1 | -62,307,179 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,307,179.
Example:
1 x 62,307,179 = 62,307,179
and
-1 x -62,307,179 = 62,307,179
Notice both answers equal 62,307,179
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,307,179 and divide it by 2:
62,307,179 ÷ 2 = 31,153,589.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,153,589.5 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 | 62,307,179 | |
| -1 | -62,307,179 |
Now, we try dividing 62,307,179 by 3:
62,307,179 ÷ 3 = 20,769,059.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,769,059.6667 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 | 62,307,179 | |
| -1 | -62,307,179 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,307,179 ÷ 4 = 15,576,794.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,576,794.75 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 | 62,307,179 | |
| -1 | 62,307,179 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 73 | 341 | 803 | 2,263 | 2,503 | 24,893 | 27,533 | 77,593 | 182,719 | 853,523 | 2,009,909 | 5,664,289 | 62,307,179 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -73 | -341 | -803 | -2,263 | -2,503 | -24,893 | -27,533 | -77,593 | -182,719 | -853,523 | -2,009,909 | -5,664,289 | -62,307,179 |
