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 49,237,835, 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 | 49,237,835 | |
| -1 | -49,237,835 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 49,237,835.
Example:
1 x 49,237,835 = 49,237,835
and
-1 x -49,237,835 = 49,237,835
Notice both answers equal 49,237,835
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 49,237,835 and divide it by 2:
49,237,835 ÷ 2 = 24,618,917.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,618,917.5 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 | 49,237,835 | |
| -1 | -49,237,835 |
Now, we try dividing 49,237,835 by 3:
49,237,835 ÷ 3 = 16,412,611.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,412,611.6667 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 | 49,237,835 | |
| -1 | -49,237,835 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
49,237,835 ÷ 4 = 12,309,458.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,309,458.75 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 | 49,237,835 | |
| -1 | 49,237,835 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 95 | 523 | 991 | 2,615 | 4,955 | 9,937 | 18,829 | 49,685 | 94,145 | 518,293 | 2,591,465 | 9,847,567 | 49,237,835 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -95 | -523 | -991 | -2,615 | -4,955 | -9,937 | -18,829 | -49,685 | -94,145 | -518,293 | -2,591,465 | -9,847,567 | -49,237,835 |
