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 50,460,709, 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 | 50,460,709 | |
| -1 | -50,460,709 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,460,709.
Example:
1 x 50,460,709 = 50,460,709
and
-1 x -50,460,709 = 50,460,709
Notice both answers equal 50,460,709
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,460,709 and divide it by 2:
50,460,709 ÷ 2 = 25,230,354.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,230,354.5 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 | 50,460,709 | |
| -1 | -50,460,709 |
Now, we try dividing 50,460,709 by 3:
50,460,709 ÷ 3 = 16,820,236.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,820,236.3333 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 | 50,460,709 | |
| -1 | -50,460,709 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,460,709 ÷ 4 = 12,615,177.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,615,177.25 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 | 50,460,709 | |
| -1 | 50,460,709 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 17 | 41 | 221 | 533 | 697 | 5,569 | 9,061 | 72,397 | 94,673 | 228,329 | 1,230,749 | 2,968,277 | 3,881,593 | 50,460,709 |
| -1 | -13 | -17 | -41 | -221 | -533 | -697 | -5,569 | -9,061 | -72,397 | -94,673 | -228,329 | -1,230,749 | -2,968,277 | -3,881,593 | -50,460,709 |
