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 62,485,927, 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 | 62,485,927 | |
| -1 | -62,485,927 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,485,927.
Example:
1 x 62,485,927 = 62,485,927
and
-1 x -62,485,927 = 62,485,927
Notice both answers equal 62,485,927
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,485,927 and divide it by 2:
62,485,927 ÷ 2 = 31,242,963.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,242,963.5 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 | 62,485,927 | |
| -1 | -62,485,927 |
Now, we try dividing 62,485,927 by 3:
62,485,927 ÷ 3 = 20,828,642.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,828,642.3333 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 | 62,485,927 | |
| -1 | -62,485,927 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,485,927 ÷ 4 = 15,621,481.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,621,481.75 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 | 62,485,927 | |
| -1 | 62,485,927 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 41 | 49 | 133 | 287 | 779 | 931 | 1,637 | 2,009 | 5,453 | 11,459 | 31,103 | 38,171 | 67,117 | 80,213 | 217,721 | 469,819 | 1,275,223 | 1,524,047 | 3,288,733 | 8,926,561 | 62,485,927 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -41 | -49 | -133 | -287 | -779 | -931 | -1,637 | -2,009 | -5,453 | -11,459 | -31,103 | -38,171 | -67,117 | -80,213 | -217,721 | -469,819 | -1,275,223 | -1,524,047 | -3,288,733 | -8,926,561 | -62,485,927 |
