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 50,521,133, 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 | 50,521,133 | |
| -1 | -50,521,133 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,521,133.
Example:
1 x 50,521,133 = 50,521,133
and
-1 x -50,521,133 = 50,521,133
Notice both answers equal 50,521,133
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,521,133 and divide it by 2:
50,521,133 ÷ 2 = 25,260,566.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,260,566.5 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 | 50,521,133 | |
| -1 | -50,521,133 |
Now, we try dividing 50,521,133 by 3:
50,521,133 ÷ 3 = 16,840,377.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,840,377.6667 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 | 50,521,133 | |
| -1 | -50,521,133 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,521,133 ÷ 4 = 12,630,283.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,630,283.25 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 | 50,521,133 | |
| -1 | 50,521,133 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 13 | 19 | 23 | 247 | 299 | 437 | 5,681 | 8,893 | 115,609 | 168,967 | 204,539 | 2,196,571 | 2,659,007 | 3,886,241 | 50,521,133 |
| -1 | -13 | -19 | -23 | -247 | -299 | -437 | -5,681 | -8,893 | -115,609 | -168,967 | -204,539 | -2,196,571 | -2,659,007 | -3,886,241 | -50,521,133 |
