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 62,822,705, 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 | 62,822,705 | |
| -1 | -62,822,705 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,822,705.
Example:
1 x 62,822,705 = 62,822,705
and
-1 x -62,822,705 = 62,822,705
Notice both answers equal 62,822,705
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,822,705 and divide it by 2:
62,822,705 ÷ 2 = 31,411,352.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,411,352.5 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 | 62,822,705 | |
| -1 | -62,822,705 |
Now, we try dividing 62,822,705 by 3:
62,822,705 ÷ 3 = 20,940,901.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,940,901.6667 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 | 62,822,705 | |
| -1 | -62,822,705 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,822,705 ÷ 4 = 15,705,676.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,705,676.25 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 | 62,822,705 | |
| -1 | 62,822,705 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 73 | 365 | 803 | 4,015 | 15,647 | 78,235 | 172,117 | 860,585 | 1,142,231 | 5,711,155 | 12,564,541 | 62,822,705 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -73 | -365 | -803 | -4,015 | -15,647 | -78,235 | -172,117 | -860,585 | -1,142,231 | -5,711,155 | -12,564,541 | -62,822,705 |
