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 50,035,015, 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 | 50,035,015 | |
| -1 | -50,035,015 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,035,015.
Example:
1 x 50,035,015 = 50,035,015
and
-1 x -50,035,015 = 50,035,015
Notice both answers equal 50,035,015
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,035,015 and divide it by 2:
50,035,015 ÷ 2 = 25,017,507.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,017,507.5 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 | 50,035,015 | |
| -1 | -50,035,015 |
Now, we try dividing 50,035,015 by 3:
50,035,015 ÷ 3 = 16,678,338.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,678,338.3333 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 | 50,035,015 | |
| -1 | -50,035,015 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,035,015 ÷ 4 = 12,508,753.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,508,753.75 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 | 50,035,015 | |
| -1 | 50,035,015 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 215 | 409 | 569 | 2,045 | 2,845 | 17,587 | 24,467 | 87,935 | 122,335 | 232,721 | 1,163,605 | 10,007,003 | 50,035,015 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -215 | -409 | -569 | -2,045 | -2,845 | -17,587 | -24,467 | -87,935 | -122,335 | -232,721 | -1,163,605 | -10,007,003 | -50,035,015 |
