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 50,300,255, 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 | 50,300,255 | |
| -1 | -50,300,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,300,255.
Example:
1 x 50,300,255 = 50,300,255
and
-1 x -50,300,255 = 50,300,255
Notice both answers equal 50,300,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,300,255 and divide it by 2:
50,300,255 ÷ 2 = 25,150,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,150,127.5 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 | 50,300,255 | |
| -1 | -50,300,255 |
Now, we try dividing 50,300,255 by 3:
50,300,255 ÷ 3 = 16,766,751.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,766,751.6667 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 | 50,300,255 | |
| -1 | -50,300,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,300,255 ÷ 4 = 12,575,063.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,575,063.75 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 | 50,300,255 | |
| -1 | 50,300,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 113 | 127 | 565 | 635 | 701 | 3,505 | 14,351 | 71,755 | 79,213 | 89,027 | 396,065 | 445,135 | 10,060,051 | 50,300,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -113 | -127 | -565 | -635 | -701 | -3,505 | -14,351 | -71,755 | -79,213 | -89,027 | -396,065 | -445,135 | -10,060,051 | -50,300,255 |
