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 50,444,107, 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 | 50,444,107 | |
| -1 | -50,444,107 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,444,107.
Example:
1 x 50,444,107 = 50,444,107
and
-1 x -50,444,107 = 50,444,107
Notice both answers equal 50,444,107
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,444,107 and divide it by 2:
50,444,107 ÷ 2 = 25,222,053.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,222,053.5 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 | 50,444,107 | |
| -1 | -50,444,107 |
Now, we try dividing 50,444,107 by 3:
50,444,107 ÷ 3 = 16,814,702.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,814,702.3333 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 | 50,444,107 | |
| -1 | -50,444,107 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,444,107 ÷ 4 = 12,611,026.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,611,026.75 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 | 50,444,107 | |
| -1 | 50,444,107 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 19 | 79 | 133 | 553 | 1,501 | 4,801 | 10,507 | 33,607 | 91,219 | 379,279 | 638,533 | 2,654,953 | 7,206,301 | 50,444,107 |
| -1 | -7 | -19 | -79 | -133 | -553 | -1,501 | -4,801 | -10,507 | -33,607 | -91,219 | -379,279 | -638,533 | -2,654,953 | -7,206,301 | -50,444,107 |
