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 50,475,035, 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 | 50,475,035 | |
| -1 | -50,475,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,475,035.
Example:
1 x 50,475,035 = 50,475,035
and
-1 x -50,475,035 = 50,475,035
Notice both answers equal 50,475,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,475,035 and divide it by 2:
50,475,035 ÷ 2 = 25,237,517.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,237,517.5 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 | 50,475,035 | |
| -1 | -50,475,035 |
Now, we try dividing 50,475,035 by 3:
50,475,035 ÷ 3 = 16,825,011.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,825,011.6667 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 | 50,475,035 | |
| -1 | -50,475,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,475,035 ÷ 4 = 12,618,758.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,618,758.75 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 | 50,475,035 | |
| -1 | 50,475,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 13 | 65 | 229 | 1,145 | 2,977 | 3,391 | 14,885 | 16,955 | 44,083 | 220,415 | 776,539 | 3,882,695 | 10,095,007 | 50,475,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -13 | -65 | -229 | -1,145 | -2,977 | -3,391 | -14,885 | -16,955 | -44,083 | -220,415 | -776,539 | -3,882,695 | -10,095,007 | -50,475,035 |
