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 62,494,285, 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 | 62,494,285 | |
| -1 | -62,494,285 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,494,285.
Example:
1 x 62,494,285 = 62,494,285
and
-1 x -62,494,285 = 62,494,285
Notice both answers equal 62,494,285
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,494,285 and divide it by 2:
62,494,285 ÷ 2 = 31,247,142.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,247,142.5 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 | 62,494,285 | |
| -1 | -62,494,285 |
Now, we try dividing 62,494,285 by 3:
62,494,285 ÷ 3 = 20,831,428.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,831,428.3333 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 | 62,494,285 | |
| -1 | -62,494,285 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,494,285 ÷ 4 = 15,623,571.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,623,571.25 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 | 62,494,285 | |
| -1 | 62,494,285 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 373 | 1,865 | 2,611 | 4,787 | 13,055 | 23,935 | 33,509 | 167,545 | 1,785,551 | 8,927,755 | 12,498,857 | 62,494,285 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -373 | -1,865 | -2,611 | -4,787 | -13,055 | -23,935 | -33,509 | -167,545 | -1,785,551 | -8,927,755 | -12,498,857 | -62,494,285 |
