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 49,222,483, 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 | 49,222,483 | |
| -1 | -49,222,483 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 49,222,483.
Example:
1 x 49,222,483 = 49,222,483
and
-1 x -49,222,483 = 49,222,483
Notice both answers equal 49,222,483
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 49,222,483 and divide it by 2:
49,222,483 ÷ 2 = 24,611,241.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,611,241.5 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 | 49,222,483 | |
| -1 | -49,222,483 |
Now, we try dividing 49,222,483 by 3:
49,222,483 ÷ 3 = 16,407,494.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,407,494.3333 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 | 49,222,483 | |
| -1 | -49,222,483 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
49,222,483 ÷ 4 = 12,305,620.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,305,620.75 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 | 49,222,483 | |
| -1 | 49,222,483 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 19 | 29 | 157 | 551 | 569 | 2,983 | 4,553 | 10,811 | 16,501 | 86,507 | 89,333 | 313,519 | 1,697,327 | 2,590,657 | 49,222,483 |
| -1 | -19 | -29 | -157 | -551 | -569 | -2,983 | -4,553 | -10,811 | -16,501 | -86,507 | -89,333 | -313,519 | -1,697,327 | -2,590,657 | -49,222,483 |
