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 62,556,113, 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 | 62,556,113 | |
| -1 | -62,556,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,556,113.
Example:
1 x 62,556,113 = 62,556,113
and
-1 x -62,556,113 = 62,556,113
Notice both answers equal 62,556,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,556,113 and divide it by 2:
62,556,113 ÷ 2 = 31,278,056.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,278,056.5 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 | 62,556,113 | |
| -1 | -62,556,113 |
Now, we try dividing 62,556,113 by 3:
62,556,113 ÷ 3 = 20,852,037.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,852,037.6667 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 | 62,556,113 | |
| -1 | -62,556,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,556,113 ÷ 4 = 15,639,028.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,639,028.25 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 | 62,556,113 | |
| -1 | 62,556,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 23 | 257 | 437 | 557 | 4,883 | 5,911 | 10,583 | 12,811 | 112,309 | 143,149 | 243,409 | 2,719,831 | 3,292,427 | 62,556,113 |
| -1 | -19 | -23 | -257 | -437 | -557 | -4,883 | -5,911 | -10,583 | -12,811 | -112,309 | -143,149 | -243,409 | -2,719,831 | -3,292,427 | -62,556,113 |
