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 62,482,285, 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 | 62,482,285 | |
| -1 | -62,482,285 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,482,285.
Example:
1 x 62,482,285 = 62,482,285
and
-1 x -62,482,285 = 62,482,285
Notice both answers equal 62,482,285
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,482,285 and divide it by 2:
62,482,285 ÷ 2 = 31,241,142.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,241,142.5 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 | 62,482,285 | |
| -1 | -62,482,285 |
Now, we try dividing 62,482,285 by 3:
62,482,285 ÷ 3 = 20,827,428.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,827,428.3333 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 | 62,482,285 | |
| -1 | -62,482,285 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,482,285 ÷ 4 = 15,620,571.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,620,571.25 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 | 62,482,285 | |
| -1 | 62,482,285 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 79 | 317 | 395 | 499 | 1,585 | 2,495 | 25,043 | 39,421 | 125,215 | 158,183 | 197,105 | 790,915 | 12,496,457 | 62,482,285 |
| -1 | -5 | -79 | -317 | -395 | -499 | -1,585 | -2,495 | -25,043 | -39,421 | -125,215 | -158,183 | -197,105 | -790,915 | -12,496,457 | -62,482,285 |
