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 50,033,023, 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 | 50,033,023 | |
| -1 | -50,033,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,033,023.
Example:
1 x 50,033,023 = 50,033,023
and
-1 x -50,033,023 = 50,033,023
Notice both answers equal 50,033,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,033,023 and divide it by 2:
50,033,023 ÷ 2 = 25,016,511.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,016,511.5 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 | 50,033,023 | |
| -1 | -50,033,023 |
Now, we try dividing 50,033,023 by 3:
50,033,023 ÷ 3 = 16,677,674.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,677,674.3333 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 | 50,033,023 | |
| -1 | -50,033,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,033,023 ÷ 4 = 12,508,255.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,508,255.75 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 | 50,033,023 | |
| -1 | 50,033,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 19 | 191 | 323 | 811 | 3,247 | 3,629 | 13,787 | 15,409 | 61,693 | 154,901 | 261,953 | 2,633,317 | 2,943,119 | 50,033,023 |
| -1 | -17 | -19 | -191 | -323 | -811 | -3,247 | -3,629 | -13,787 | -15,409 | -61,693 | -154,901 | -261,953 | -2,633,317 | -2,943,119 | -50,033,023 |
