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 50,073,205, 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 | 50,073,205 | |
| -1 | -50,073,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,073,205.
Example:
1 x 50,073,205 = 50,073,205
and
-1 x -50,073,205 = 50,073,205
Notice both answers equal 50,073,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,073,205 and divide it by 2:
50,073,205 ÷ 2 = 25,036,602.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,036,602.5 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 | 50,073,205 | |
| -1 | -50,073,205 |
Now, we try dividing 50,073,205 by 3:
50,073,205 ÷ 3 = 16,691,068.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,691,068.3333 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 | 50,073,205 | |
| -1 | -50,073,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,073,205 ÷ 4 = 12,518,301.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,518,301.25 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 | 50,073,205 | |
| -1 | 50,073,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 455 | 110,051 | 550,255 | 770,357 | 1,430,663 | 3,851,785 | 7,153,315 | 10,014,641 | 50,073,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -455 | -110,051 | -550,255 | -770,357 | -1,430,663 | -3,851,785 | -7,153,315 | -10,014,641 | -50,073,205 |
