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 50,519,023, 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 | 50,519,023 | |
| -1 | -50,519,023 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,519,023.
Example:
1 x 50,519,023 = 50,519,023
and
-1 x -50,519,023 = 50,519,023
Notice both answers equal 50,519,023
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,519,023 and divide it by 2:
50,519,023 ÷ 2 = 25,259,511.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,259,511.5 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 | 50,519,023 | |
| -1 | -50,519,023 |
Now, we try dividing 50,519,023 by 3:
50,519,023 ÷ 3 = 16,839,674.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,839,674.3333 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 | 50,519,023 | |
| -1 | -50,519,023 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,519,023 ÷ 4 = 12,629,755.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,629,755.75 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 | 50,519,023 | |
| -1 | 50,519,023 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 37 | 43 | 113 | 281 | 1,591 | 4,181 | 4,859 | 10,397 | 12,083 | 31,753 | 179,783 | 447,071 | 1,174,861 | 1,365,379 | 50,519,023 |
| -1 | -37 | -43 | -113 | -281 | -1,591 | -4,181 | -4,859 | -10,397 | -12,083 | -31,753 | -179,783 | -447,071 | -1,174,861 | -1,365,379 | -50,519,023 |
