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 62,418,343, 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 | 62,418,343 | |
| -1 | -62,418,343 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,418,343.
Example:
1 x 62,418,343 = 62,418,343
and
-1 x -62,418,343 = 62,418,343
Notice both answers equal 62,418,343
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,418,343 and divide it by 2:
62,418,343 ÷ 2 = 31,209,171.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,209,171.5 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 | 62,418,343 | |
| -1 | -62,418,343 |
Now, we try dividing 62,418,343 by 3:
62,418,343 ÷ 3 = 20,806,114.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,806,114.3333 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 | 62,418,343 | |
| -1 | -62,418,343 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,418,343 ÷ 4 = 15,604,585.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,604,585.75 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 | 62,418,343 | |
| -1 | 62,418,343 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 23 | 107 | 299 | 1,391 | 1,951 | 2,461 | 25,363 | 31,993 | 44,873 | 208,757 | 583,349 | 2,713,841 | 4,801,411 | 62,418,343 |
| -1 | -13 | -23 | -107 | -299 | -1,391 | -1,951 | -2,461 | -25,363 | -31,993 | -44,873 | -208,757 | -583,349 | -2,713,841 | -4,801,411 | -62,418,343 |
