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 63,232,631, 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 | 63,232,631 | |
| -1 | -63,232,631 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 63,232,631.
Example:
1 x 63,232,631 = 63,232,631
and
-1 x -63,232,631 = 63,232,631
Notice both answers equal 63,232,631
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 63,232,631 and divide it by 2:
63,232,631 ÷ 2 = 31,616,315.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 31,616,315.5 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 | 63,232,631 | |
| -1 | -63,232,631 |
Now, we try dividing 63,232,631 by 3:
63,232,631 ÷ 3 = 21,077,543.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 21,077,543.6667 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 | 63,232,631 | |
| -1 | -63,232,631 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
63,232,631 ÷ 4 = 15,808,157.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 15,808,157.75 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 | 63,232,631 | |
| -1 | 63,232,631 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 11 | 77 | 89 | 623 | 979 | 6,853 | 9,227 | 64,589 | 101,497 | 710,479 | 821,203 | 5,748,421 | 9,033,233 | 63,232,631 |
| -1 | -7 | -11 | -77 | -89 | -623 | -979 | -6,853 | -9,227 | -64,589 | -101,497 | -710,479 | -821,203 | -5,748,421 | -9,033,233 | -63,232,631 |
