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 62,434,757, 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 | 62,434,757 | |
| -1 | -62,434,757 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,434,757.
Example:
1 x 62,434,757 = 62,434,757
and
-1 x -62,434,757 = 62,434,757
Notice both answers equal 62,434,757
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,434,757 and divide it by 2:
62,434,757 ÷ 2 = 31,217,378.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,217,378.5 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 | 62,434,757 | |
| -1 | -62,434,757 |
Now, we try dividing 62,434,757 by 3:
62,434,757 ÷ 3 = 20,811,585.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,811,585.6667 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 | 62,434,757 | |
| -1 | -62,434,757 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,434,757 ÷ 4 = 15,608,689.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,608,689.25 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 | 62,434,757 | |
| -1 | 62,434,757 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 353 | 2,297 | 2,471 | 3,883 | 16,079 | 25,267 | 27,181 | 176,869 | 810,841 | 5,675,887 | 8,919,251 | 62,434,757 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -353 | -2,297 | -2,471 | -3,883 | -16,079 | -25,267 | -27,181 | -176,869 | -810,841 | -5,675,887 | -8,919,251 | -62,434,757 |
