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 50,263,279, 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 | 50,263,279 | |
| -1 | -50,263,279 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,263,279.
Example:
1 x 50,263,279 = 50,263,279
and
-1 x -50,263,279 = 50,263,279
Notice both answers equal 50,263,279
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,263,279 and divide it by 2:
50,263,279 ÷ 2 = 25,131,639.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,131,639.5 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 | 50,263,279 | |
| -1 | -50,263,279 |
Now, we try dividing 50,263,279 by 3:
50,263,279 ÷ 3 = 16,754,426.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,754,426.3333 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 | 50,263,279 | |
| -1 | -50,263,279 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,263,279 ÷ 4 = 12,565,819.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,565,819.75 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 | 50,263,279 | |
| -1 | 50,263,279 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 37 | 103 | 109 | 121 | 407 | 1,133 | 1,199 | 3,811 | 4,033 | 4,477 | 11,227 | 12,463 | 13,189 | 41,921 | 44,363 | 123,497 | 415,399 | 461,131 | 487,993 | 1,358,467 | 4,569,389 | 50,263,279 |
| -1 | -11 | -37 | -103 | -109 | -121 | -407 | -1,133 | -1,199 | -3,811 | -4,033 | -4,477 | -11,227 | -12,463 | -13,189 | -41,921 | -44,363 | -123,497 | -415,399 | -461,131 | -487,993 | -1,358,467 | -4,569,389 | -50,263,279 |
