How do I find the factor combinations of the number 62,758,675?

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 62,758,675, 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 62,758,675
-1 -62,758,675

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 62,758,675.

Example:
1 x 62,758,675 = 62,758,675
and
-1 x -62,758,675 = 62,758,675
Notice both answers equal 62,758,675

With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,758,675 and divide it by 2:

62,758,675 ÷ 2 = 31,379,337.5

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,379,337.5 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 62,758,675
-1 -62,758,675

Now, we try dividing 62,758,675 by 3:

62,758,675 ÷ 3 = 20,919,558.3333

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,919,558.3333 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 62,758,675
-1 -62,758,675

Let's try dividing by 4:

62,758,675 ÷ 4 = 15,689,668.75

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,689,668.75 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 62,758,675
-1 62,758,675
Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.

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

1572535711753554971,7752,4855,05112,42525,25535,357126,275176,785358,621883,9251,793,1052,510,3478,965,52512,551,73562,758,675
-1-5-7-25-35-71-175-355-497-1,775-2,485-5,051-12,425-25,255-35,357-126,275-176,785-358,621-883,925-1,793,105-2,510,347-8,965,525-12,551,735-62,758,675
