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 62,548,577, 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 | 62,548,577 | |
| -1 | -62,548,577 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,548,577.
Example:
1 x 62,548,577 = 62,548,577
and
-1 x -62,548,577 = 62,548,577
Notice both answers equal 62,548,577
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,548,577 and divide it by 2:
62,548,577 ÷ 2 = 31,274,288.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,274,288.5 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 | 62,548,577 | |
| -1 | -62,548,577 |
Now, we try dividing 62,548,577 by 3:
62,548,577 ÷ 3 = 20,849,525.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,849,525.6667 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 | 62,548,577 | |
| -1 | -62,548,577 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,548,577 ÷ 4 = 15,637,144.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,637,144.25 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 | 62,548,577 | |
| -1 | 62,548,577 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 89 | 91 | 623 | 1,157 | 7,723 | 8,099 | 54,061 | 100,399 | 687,347 | 702,793 | 4,811,429 | 8,935,511 | 62,548,577 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -89 | -91 | -623 | -1,157 | -7,723 | -8,099 | -54,061 | -100,399 | -687,347 | -702,793 | -4,811,429 | -8,935,511 | -62,548,577 |
