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 62,314,465, 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 | 62,314,465 | |
| -1 | -62,314,465 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,314,465.
Example:
1 x 62,314,465 = 62,314,465
and
-1 x -62,314,465 = 62,314,465
Notice both answers equal 62,314,465
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,314,465 and divide it by 2:
62,314,465 ÷ 2 = 31,157,232.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,157,232.5 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 | 62,314,465 | |
| -1 | -62,314,465 |
Now, we try dividing 62,314,465 by 3:
62,314,465 ÷ 3 = 20,771,488.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,771,488.3333 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 | 62,314,465 | |
| -1 | -62,314,465 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,314,465 ÷ 4 = 15,578,616.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,578,616.25 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 | 62,314,465 | |
| -1 | 62,314,465 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 41 | 205 | 449 | 677 | 2,245 | 3,385 | 18,409 | 27,757 | 92,045 | 138,785 | 303,973 | 1,519,865 | 12,462,893 | 62,314,465 |
| -1 | -5 | -41 | -205 | -449 | -677 | -2,245 | -3,385 | -18,409 | -27,757 | -92,045 | -138,785 | -303,973 | -1,519,865 | -12,462,893 | -62,314,465 |
