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 50,556,745, 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 | 50,556,745 | |
| -1 | -50,556,745 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,556,745.
Example:
1 x 50,556,745 = 50,556,745
and
-1 x -50,556,745 = 50,556,745
Notice both answers equal 50,556,745
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,556,745 and divide it by 2:
50,556,745 ÷ 2 = 25,278,372.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,278,372.5 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 | 50,556,745 | |
| -1 | -50,556,745 |
Now, we try dividing 50,556,745 by 3:
50,556,745 ÷ 3 = 16,852,248.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,852,248.3333 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 | 50,556,745 | |
| -1 | -50,556,745 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,556,745 ÷ 4 = 12,639,186.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,639,186.25 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 | 50,556,745 | |
| -1 | 50,556,745 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 167 | 191 | 317 | 835 | 955 | 1,585 | 31,897 | 52,939 | 60,547 | 159,485 | 264,695 | 302,735 | 10,111,349 | 50,556,745 |
| -1 | -5 | -167 | -191 | -317 | -835 | -955 | -1,585 | -31,897 | -52,939 | -60,547 | -159,485 | -264,695 | -302,735 | -10,111,349 | -50,556,745 |
