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 62,618,357, 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 | 62,618,357 | |
| -1 | -62,618,357 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,618,357.
Example:
1 x 62,618,357 = 62,618,357
and
-1 x -62,618,357 = 62,618,357
Notice both answers equal 62,618,357
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,618,357 and divide it by 2:
62,618,357 ÷ 2 = 31,309,178.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,309,178.5 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 | 62,618,357 | |
| -1 | -62,618,357 |
Now, we try dividing 62,618,357 by 3:
62,618,357 ÷ 3 = 20,872,785.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,872,785.6667 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 | 62,618,357 | |
| -1 | -62,618,357 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,618,357 ÷ 4 = 15,654,589.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,654,589.25 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 | 62,618,357 | |
| -1 | 62,618,357 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 31 | 41 | 589 | 779 | 1,271 | 2,593 | 24,149 | 49,267 | 80,383 | 106,313 | 1,527,277 | 2,019,947 | 3,295,703 | 62,618,357 |
| -1 | -19 | -31 | -41 | -589 | -779 | -1,271 | -2,593 | -24,149 | -49,267 | -80,383 | -106,313 | -1,527,277 | -2,019,947 | -3,295,703 | -62,618,357 |
