How do I find the factor combinations of the number 62,650,159?

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 62,650,159, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.

Outside in Factoring

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 62,650,159
-1 -62,650,159

Why are the negative numbers included?

When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,650,159.

Example:
1 x 62,650,159 = 62,650,159
and
-1 x -62,650,159 = 62,650,159
Notice both answers equal 62,650,159

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,650,159 and divide it by 2:

62,650,159 ÷ 2 = 31,325,079.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,325,079.5 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 62,650,159
-1 -62,650,159

Now, we try dividing 62,650,159 by 3:

62,650,159 ÷ 3 = 20,883,386.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,883,386.3333 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 62,650,159
-1 -62,650,159

Let's try dividing by 4:

62,650,159 ÷ 4 = 15,662,539.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,662,539.75 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 62,650,159
-1 62,650,159
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

If you did it right, you will end up with this table:

11113671431695037378711,8595,5336,5399,58111,32333,70171,92985,007124,553370,711438,113935,0774,819,2435,695,46962,650,159
