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 62,310,655, 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 | 62,310,655 | |
| -1 | -62,310,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,310,655.
Example:
1 x 62,310,655 = 62,310,655
and
-1 x -62,310,655 = 62,310,655
Notice both answers equal 62,310,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,310,655 and divide it by 2:
62,310,655 ÷ 2 = 31,155,327.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,155,327.5 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 | 62,310,655 | |
| -1 | -62,310,655 |
Now, we try dividing 62,310,655 by 3:
62,310,655 ÷ 3 = 20,770,218.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,770,218.3333 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 | 62,310,655 | |
| -1 | -62,310,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,310,655 ÷ 4 = 15,577,663.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,577,663.75 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 | 62,310,655 | |
| -1 | 62,310,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 43 | 55 | 215 | 473 | 2,365 | 26,347 | 131,735 | 289,817 | 1,132,921 | 1,449,085 | 5,664,605 | 12,462,131 | 62,310,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -43 | -55 | -215 | -473 | -2,365 | -26,347 | -131,735 | -289,817 | -1,132,921 | -1,449,085 | -5,664,605 | -12,462,131 | -62,310,655 |
