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 50,432,335, 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 | 50,432,335 | |
| -1 | -50,432,335 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,432,335.
Example:
1 x 50,432,335 = 50,432,335
and
-1 x -50,432,335 = 50,432,335
Notice both answers equal 50,432,335
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,432,335 and divide it by 2:
50,432,335 ÷ 2 = 25,216,167.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,216,167.5 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 | 50,432,335 | |
| -1 | -50,432,335 |
Now, we try dividing 50,432,335 by 3:
50,432,335 ÷ 3 = 16,810,778.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,810,778.3333 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 | 50,432,335 | |
| -1 | -50,432,335 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,432,335 ÷ 4 = 12,608,083.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,608,083.75 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 | 50,432,335 | |
| -1 | 50,432,335 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 127 | 215 | 635 | 1,847 | 5,461 | 9,235 | 27,305 | 79,421 | 234,569 | 397,105 | 1,172,845 | 10,086,467 | 50,432,335 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -127 | -215 | -635 | -1,847 | -5,461 | -9,235 | -27,305 | -79,421 | -234,569 | -397,105 | -1,172,845 | -10,086,467 | -50,432,335 |
