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 49,369,135, 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 | 49,369,135 | |
| -1 | -49,369,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 49,369,135.
Example:
1 x 49,369,135 = 49,369,135
and
-1 x -49,369,135 = 49,369,135
Notice both answers equal 49,369,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 49,369,135 and divide it by 2:
49,369,135 ÷ 2 = 24,684,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,684,567.5 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 | 49,369,135 | |
| -1 | -49,369,135 |
Now, we try dividing 49,369,135 by 3:
49,369,135 ÷ 3 = 16,456,378.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,456,378.3333 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 | 49,369,135 | |
| -1 | -49,369,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
49,369,135 ÷ 4 = 12,342,283.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,342,283.75 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 | 49,369,135 | |
| -1 | 49,369,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 59 | 113 | 295 | 565 | 1,481 | 6,667 | 7,405 | 33,335 | 87,379 | 167,353 | 436,895 | 836,765 | 9,873,827 | 49,369,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -59 | -113 | -295 | -565 | -1,481 | -6,667 | -7,405 | -33,335 | -87,379 | -167,353 | -436,895 | -836,765 | -9,873,827 | -49,369,135 |
