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 62,362,279, 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 | 62,362,279 | |
| -1 | -62,362,279 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,362,279.
Example:
1 x 62,362,279 = 62,362,279
and
-1 x -62,362,279 = 62,362,279
Notice both answers equal 62,362,279
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,362,279 and divide it by 2:
62,362,279 ÷ 2 = 31,181,139.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,181,139.5 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 | 62,362,279 | |
| -1 | -62,362,279 |
Now, we try dividing 62,362,279 by 3:
62,362,279 ÷ 3 = 20,787,426.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,787,426.3333 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 | 62,362,279 | |
| -1 | -62,362,279 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,362,279 ÷ 4 = 15,590,569.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,590,569.75 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 | 62,362,279 | |
| -1 | 62,362,279 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 37 | 47 | 109 | 259 | 329 | 763 | 1,739 | 2,209 | 4,033 | 5,123 | 12,173 | 15,463 | 28,231 | 35,861 | 81,733 | 189,551 | 240,781 | 572,131 | 1,326,857 | 1,685,467 | 8,908,897 | 62,362,279 |
| -1 | -7 | -37 | -47 | -109 | -259 | -329 | -763 | -1,739 | -2,209 | -4,033 | -5,123 | -12,173 | -15,463 | -28,231 | -35,861 | -81,733 | -189,551 | -240,781 | -572,131 | -1,326,857 | -1,685,467 | -8,908,897 | -62,362,279 |
