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 62,716,451, 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 | 62,716,451 | |
| -1 | -62,716,451 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,716,451.
Example:
1 x 62,716,451 = 62,716,451
and
-1 x -62,716,451 = 62,716,451
Notice both answers equal 62,716,451
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,716,451 and divide it by 2:
62,716,451 ÷ 2 = 31,358,225.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,358,225.5 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 | 62,716,451 | |
| -1 | -62,716,451 |
Now, we try dividing 62,716,451 by 3:
62,716,451 ÷ 3 = 20,905,483.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,905,483.6667 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 | 62,716,451 | |
| -1 | -62,716,451 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,716,451 ÷ 4 = 15,679,112.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,679,112.75 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 | 62,716,451 | |
| -1 | 62,716,451 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 353 | 1,493 | 2,471 | 6,001 | 10,451 | 25,381 | 42,007 | 177,667 | 527,029 | 3,689,203 | 8,959,493 | 62,716,451 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -353 | -1,493 | -2,471 | -6,001 | -10,451 | -25,381 | -42,007 | -177,667 | -527,029 | -3,689,203 | -8,959,493 | -62,716,451 |
