In a club election the number of contestants is one more than the number of maximum candidates for which a voter can vote. If the total number of ways is which a voter can vote be 62, then the number of candidates is:

My Approach!
Let's suppose we have m voters and n be the maximum candidate so total number of contestants becomes n+1. 
Now each voter can vote in n+1 ways. So m voters can vote in m\* (n+1) ways which is equal to 62. 

That's it, I am not able to figure it out more.
