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 50,073,737, 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 | 50,073,737 | |
| -1 | -50,073,737 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,073,737.
Example:
1 x 50,073,737 = 50,073,737
and
-1 x -50,073,737 = 50,073,737
Notice both answers equal 50,073,737
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,073,737 and divide it by 2:
50,073,737 ÷ 2 = 25,036,868.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,036,868.5 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 | 50,073,737 | |
| -1 | -50,073,737 |
Now, we try dividing 50,073,737 by 3:
50,073,737 ÷ 3 = 16,691,245.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,691,245.6667 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 | 50,073,737 | |
| -1 | -50,073,737 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,073,737 ÷ 4 = 12,518,434.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,518,434.25 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 | 50,073,737 | |
| -1 | 50,073,737 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 49 | 157 | 161 | 283 | 1,099 | 1,127 | 1,981 | 3,611 | 6,509 | 7,693 | 13,867 | 25,277 | 44,431 | 45,563 | 176,939 | 311,017 | 318,941 | 1,021,913 | 2,177,119 | 7,153,391 | 50,073,737 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -49 | -157 | -161 | -283 | -1,099 | -1,127 | -1,981 | -3,611 | -6,509 | -7,693 | -13,867 | -25,277 | -44,431 | -45,563 | -176,939 | -311,017 | -318,941 | -1,021,913 | -2,177,119 | -7,153,391 | -50,073,737 |
