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 50,246,315, 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 | 50,246,315 | |
| -1 | -50,246,315 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,246,315.
Example:
1 x 50,246,315 = 50,246,315
and
-1 x -50,246,315 = 50,246,315
Notice both answers equal 50,246,315
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,246,315 and divide it by 2:
50,246,315 ÷ 2 = 25,123,157.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,123,157.5 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 | 50,246,315 | |
| -1 | -50,246,315 |
Now, we try dividing 50,246,315 by 3:
50,246,315 ÷ 3 = 16,748,771.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,748,771.6667 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 | 50,246,315 | |
| -1 | -50,246,315 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,246,315 ÷ 4 = 12,561,578.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,561,578.75 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 | 50,246,315 | |
| -1 | 50,246,315 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 49 | 67 | 245 | 335 | 469 | 2,345 | 3,061 | 3,283 | 15,305 | 16,415 | 21,427 | 107,135 | 149,989 | 205,087 | 749,945 | 1,025,435 | 1,435,609 | 7,178,045 | 10,049,263 | 50,246,315 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -49 | -67 | -245 | -335 | -469 | -2,345 | -3,061 | -3,283 | -15,305 | -16,415 | -21,427 | -107,135 | -149,989 | -205,087 | -749,945 | -1,025,435 | -1,435,609 | -7,178,045 | -10,049,263 | -50,246,315 |
