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 62,622,263, 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 | 62,622,263 | |
| -1 | -62,622,263 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,622,263.
Example:
1 x 62,622,263 = 62,622,263
and
-1 x -62,622,263 = 62,622,263
Notice both answers equal 62,622,263
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,622,263 and divide it by 2:
62,622,263 ÷ 2 = 31,311,131.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,311,131.5 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 | 62,622,263 | |
| -1 | -62,622,263 |
Now, we try dividing 62,622,263 by 3:
62,622,263 ÷ 3 = 20,874,087.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,874,087.6667 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 | 62,622,263 | |
| -1 | -62,622,263 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,622,263 ÷ 4 = 15,655,565.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,655,565.75 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 | 62,622,263 | |
| -1 | 62,622,263 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 31 | 227 | 341 | 809 | 2,497 | 7,037 | 8,899 | 25,079 | 77,407 | 183,643 | 275,869 | 2,020,073 | 5,692,933 | 62,622,263 |
| -1 | -11 | -31 | -227 | -341 | -809 | -2,497 | -7,037 | -8,899 | -25,079 | -77,407 | -183,643 | -275,869 | -2,020,073 | -5,692,933 | -62,622,263 |
