Negative:
-1 x -49595-5 x -9919-7 x -7085-13 x -3815-35 x -1417-65 x -763-91 x -545-109 x -455
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 49,595, 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 | 49,595 | |
| -1 | -49,595 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 49,595.
Example:
1 x 49,595 = 49,595
and
-1 x -49,595 = 49,595
Notice both answers equal 49,595
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 49,595 and divide it by 2:
49,595 ÷ 2 = 24,797.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,797.5 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 | 49,595 | |
| -1 | -49,595 |
Now, we try dividing 49,595 by 3:
49,595 ÷ 3 = 16,531.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,531.6667 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 | 49,595 | |
| -1 | -49,595 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
49,595 ÷ 4 = 12,398.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,398.75 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 | 49,595 | |
| -1 | 49,595 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 109 | 455 | 545 | 763 | 1,417 | 3,815 | 7,085 | 9,919 | 49,595 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -109 | -455 | -545 | -763 | -1,417 | -3,815 | -7,085 | -9,919 | -49,595 |
