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 50,055,607, 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 | 50,055,607 | |
| -1 | -50,055,607 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,055,607.
Example:
1 x 50,055,607 = 50,055,607
and
-1 x -50,055,607 = 50,055,607
Notice both answers equal 50,055,607
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,055,607 and divide it by 2:
50,055,607 ÷ 2 = 25,027,803.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,027,803.5 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 | 50,055,607 | |
| -1 | -50,055,607 |
Now, we try dividing 50,055,607 by 3:
50,055,607 ÷ 3 = 16,685,202.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,685,202.3333 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 | 50,055,607 | |
| -1 | -50,055,607 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,055,607 ÷ 4 = 12,513,901.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,513,901.75 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 | 50,055,607 | |
| -1 | 50,055,607 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 31 | 49 | 217 | 961 | 1,063 | 1,519 | 6,727 | 7,441 | 32,953 | 47,089 | 52,087 | 230,671 | 1,021,543 | 1,614,697 | 7,150,801 | 50,055,607 |
| -1 | -7 | -31 | -49 | -217 | -961 | -1,063 | -1,519 | -6,727 | -7,441 | -32,953 | -47,089 | -52,087 | -230,671 | -1,021,543 | -1,614,697 | -7,150,801 | -50,055,607 |
