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 62,727,835, 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 | 62,727,835 | |
| -1 | -62,727,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,727,835.
Example:
1 x 62,727,835 = 62,727,835
and
-1 x -62,727,835 = 62,727,835
Notice both answers equal 62,727,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,727,835 and divide it by 2:
62,727,835 ÷ 2 = 31,363,917.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,363,917.5 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 | 62,727,835 | |
| -1 | -62,727,835 |
Now, we try dividing 62,727,835 by 3:
62,727,835 ÷ 3 = 20,909,278.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,909,278.3333 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 | 62,727,835 | |
| -1 | -62,727,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,727,835 ÷ 4 = 15,681,958.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,681,958.75 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 | 62,727,835 | |
| -1 | 62,727,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 787 | 839 | 3,935 | 4,195 | 14,953 | 15,941 | 74,765 | 79,705 | 660,293 | 3,301,465 | 12,545,567 | 62,727,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -787 | -839 | -3,935 | -4,195 | -14,953 | -15,941 | -74,765 | -79,705 | -660,293 | -3,301,465 | -12,545,567 | -62,727,835 |
