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 50,345,113, 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 | 50,345,113 | |
| -1 | -50,345,113 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,345,113.
Example:
1 x 50,345,113 = 50,345,113
and
-1 x -50,345,113 = 50,345,113
Notice both answers equal 50,345,113
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,345,113 and divide it by 2:
50,345,113 ÷ 2 = 25,172,556.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,172,556.5 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 | 50,345,113 | |
| -1 | -50,345,113 |
Now, we try dividing 50,345,113 by 3:
50,345,113 ÷ 3 = 16,781,704.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,781,704.3333 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 | 50,345,113 | |
| -1 | -50,345,113 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,345,113 ÷ 4 = 12,586,278.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,586,278.25 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 | 50,345,113 | |
| -1 | 50,345,113 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 59 | 91 | 413 | 767 | 5,369 | 9,377 | 65,639 | 121,901 | 553,243 | 853,307 | 3,872,701 | 7,192,159 | 50,345,113 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -59 | -91 | -413 | -767 | -5,369 | -9,377 | -65,639 | -121,901 | -553,243 | -853,307 | -3,872,701 | -7,192,159 | -50,345,113 |
