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 49,324,855, 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 | 49,324,855 | |
| -1 | -49,324,855 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 49,324,855.
Example:
1 x 49,324,855 = 49,324,855
and
-1 x -49,324,855 = 49,324,855
Notice both answers equal 49,324,855
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 49,324,855 and divide it by 2:
49,324,855 ÷ 2 = 24,662,427.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,662,427.5 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 | 49,324,855 | |
| -1 | -49,324,855 |
Now, we try dividing 49,324,855 by 3:
49,324,855 ÷ 3 = 16,441,618.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,441,618.3333 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 | 49,324,855 | |
| -1 | -49,324,855 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
49,324,855 ÷ 4 = 12,331,213.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,331,213.75 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 | 49,324,855 | |
| -1 | 49,324,855 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 47 | 95 | 235 | 893 | 4,465 | 11,047 | 55,235 | 209,893 | 519,209 | 1,049,465 | 2,596,045 | 9,864,971 | 49,324,855 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -47 | -95 | -235 | -893 | -4,465 | -11,047 | -55,235 | -209,893 | -519,209 | -1,049,465 | -2,596,045 | -9,864,971 | -49,324,855 |
