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 49,350,431, 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 | 49,350,431 | |
| -1 | -49,350,431 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 49,350,431.
Example:
1 x 49,350,431 = 49,350,431
and
-1 x -49,350,431 = 49,350,431
Notice both answers equal 49,350,431
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 49,350,431 and divide it by 2:
49,350,431 ÷ 2 = 24,675,215.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,675,215.5 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 | 49,350,431 | |
| -1 | -49,350,431 |
Now, we try dividing 49,350,431 by 3:
49,350,431 ÷ 3 = 16,450,143.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,450,143.6667 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 | 49,350,431 | |
| -1 | -49,350,431 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
49,350,431 ÷ 4 = 12,337,607.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,337,607.75 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 | 49,350,431 | |
| -1 | 49,350,431 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 29 | 79 | 377 | 1,027 | 1,657 | 2,291 | 21,541 | 29,783 | 48,053 | 130,903 | 624,689 | 1,701,739 | 3,796,187 | 49,350,431 |
| -1 | -13 | -29 | -79 | -377 | -1,027 | -1,657 | -2,291 | -21,541 | -29,783 | -48,053 | -130,903 | -624,689 | -1,701,739 | -3,796,187 | -49,350,431 |
