To find the factors of a number, I suggest using a factor tree. It is elementary, but it is undeniably the simplest way. Start with the number, in this case 62.

62

Pick any two factors and write them under the original number.

62

2 x 31

Circle (or bold) the prime numbers. These can no longer be divided. (In this case, both factors of 62 are prime. Otherwise, you would further break down the actors until you are only left with primes)

In conclusion, the factors of 62 are 1, 2, 31, and 62. 2 and 31 are the prime factors of 62.
