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 50,374,205, 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 | 50,374,205 | |
| -1 | -50,374,205 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,374,205.
Example:
1 x 50,374,205 = 50,374,205
and
-1 x -50,374,205 = 50,374,205
Notice both answers equal 50,374,205
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,374,205 and divide it by 2:
50,374,205 ÷ 2 = 25,187,102.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,187,102.5 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 | 50,374,205 | |
| -1 | -50,374,205 |
Now, we try dividing 50,374,205 by 3:
50,374,205 ÷ 3 = 16,791,401.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,791,401.6667 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 | 50,374,205 | |
| -1 | -50,374,205 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,374,205 ÷ 4 = 12,593,551.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,593,551.25 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 | 50,374,205 | |
| -1 | 50,374,205 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 37 | 49 | 185 | 245 | 259 | 1,295 | 1,813 | 5,557 | 9,065 | 27,785 | 38,899 | 194,495 | 205,609 | 272,293 | 1,028,045 | 1,361,465 | 1,439,263 | 7,196,315 | 10,074,841 | 50,374,205 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -35 | -37 | -49 | -185 | -245 | -259 | -1,295 | -1,813 | -5,557 | -9,065 | -27,785 | -38,899 | -194,495 | -205,609 | -272,293 | -1,028,045 | -1,361,465 | -1,439,263 | -7,196,315 | -10,074,841 | -50,374,205 |
