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 62,845,289, 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 | 62,845,289 | |
| -1 | -62,845,289 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 62,845,289.
Example:
1 x 62,845,289 = 62,845,289
and
-1 x -62,845,289 = 62,845,289
Notice both answers equal 62,845,289
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 62,845,289 and divide it by 2:
62,845,289 ÷ 2 = 31,422,644.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,422,644.5 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 | 62,845,289 | |
| -1 | -62,845,289 |
Now, we try dividing 62,845,289 by 3:
62,845,289 ÷ 3 = 20,948,429.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 20,948,429.6667 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 | 62,845,289 | |
| -1 | -62,845,289 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
62,845,289 ÷ 4 = 15,711,322.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,711,322.25 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 | 62,845,289 | |
| -1 | 62,845,289 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 113 | 179 | 239 | 1,469 | 2,327 | 3,107 | 20,227 | 27,007 | 42,781 | 262,951 | 351,091 | 556,153 | 4,834,253 | 62,845,289 |
| -1 | -13 | -113 | -179 | -239 | -1,469 | -2,327 | -3,107 | -20,227 | -27,007 | -42,781 | -262,951 | -351,091 | -556,153 | -4,834,253 | -62,845,289 |
