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 62,741,029, 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 | 62,741,029 | |
| -1 | -62,741,029 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,741,029.
Example:
1 x 62,741,029 = 62,741,029
and
-1 x -62,741,029 = 62,741,029
Notice both answers equal 62,741,029
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,741,029 and divide it by 2:
62,741,029 ÷ 2 = 31,370,514.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,370,514.5 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 | 62,741,029 | |
| -1 | -62,741,029 |
Now, we try dividing 62,741,029 by 3:
62,741,029 ÷ 3 = 20,913,676.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,913,676.3333 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 | 62,741,029 | |
| -1 | -62,741,029 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,741,029 ÷ 4 = 15,685,257.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,685,257.25 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 | 62,741,029 | |
| -1 | 62,741,029 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 41 | 53 | 533 | 689 | 2,173 | 2,221 | 28,249 | 28,873 | 91,061 | 117,713 | 1,183,793 | 1,530,269 | 4,826,233 | 62,741,029 |
| -1 | -13 | -41 | -53 | -533 | -689 | -2,173 | -2,221 | -28,249 | -28,873 | -91,061 | -117,713 | -1,183,793 | -1,530,269 | -4,826,233 | -62,741,029 |
