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 62,336,219, 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 | 62,336,219 | |
| -1 | -62,336,219 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,336,219.
Example:
1 x 62,336,219 = 62,336,219
and
-1 x -62,336,219 = 62,336,219
Notice both answers equal 62,336,219
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,336,219 and divide it by 2:
62,336,219 ÷ 2 = 31,168,109.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,168,109.5 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 | 62,336,219 | |
| -1 | -62,336,219 |
Now, we try dividing 62,336,219 by 3:
62,336,219 ÷ 3 = 20,778,739.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,778,739.6667 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 | 62,336,219 | |
| -1 | -62,336,219 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,336,219 ÷ 4 = 15,584,054.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,584,054.75 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 | 62,336,219 | |
| -1 | 62,336,219 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 131 | 181 | 239 | 1,441 | 1,991 | 2,629 | 23,711 | 31,309 | 43,259 | 260,821 | 344,399 | 475,849 | 5,666,929 | 62,336,219 |
| -1 | -11 | -131 | -181 | -239 | -1,441 | -1,991 | -2,629 | -23,711 | -31,309 | -43,259 | -260,821 | -344,399 | -475,849 | -5,666,929 | -62,336,219 |
