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 50,071,091, 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 | 50,071,091 | |
| -1 | -50,071,091 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,071,091.
Example:
1 x 50,071,091 = 50,071,091
and
-1 x -50,071,091 = 50,071,091
Notice both answers equal 50,071,091
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,071,091 and divide it by 2:
50,071,091 ÷ 2 = 25,035,545.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,035,545.5 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 | 50,071,091 | |
| -1 | -50,071,091 |
Now, we try dividing 50,071,091 by 3:
50,071,091 ÷ 3 = 16,690,363.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,690,363.6667 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 | 50,071,091 | |
| -1 | -50,071,091 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,071,091 ÷ 4 = 12,517,772.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,517,772.75 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 | 50,071,091 | |
| -1 | 50,071,091 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 49 | 113 | 791 | 5,537 | 9,043 | 63,301 | 443,107 | 1,021,859 | 7,153,013 | 50,071,091 |
| -1 | -7 | -49 | -113 | -791 | -5,537 | -9,043 | -63,301 | -443,107 | -1,021,859 | -7,153,013 | -50,071,091 |
