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 50,603,531, 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 | 50,603,531 | |
| -1 | -50,603,531 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,603,531.
Example:
1 x 50,603,531 = 50,603,531
and
-1 x -50,603,531 = 50,603,531
Notice both answers equal 50,603,531
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,603,531 and divide it by 2:
50,603,531 ÷ 2 = 25,301,765.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,301,765.5 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 | 50,603,531 | |
| -1 | -50,603,531 |
Now, we try dividing 50,603,531 by 3:
50,603,531 ÷ 3 = 16,867,843.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,867,843.6667 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 | 50,603,531 | |
| -1 | -50,603,531 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,603,531 ÷ 4 = 12,650,882.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,650,882.75 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 | 50,603,531 | |
| -1 | 50,603,531 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 37 | 89 | 121 | 127 | 407 | 979 | 1,397 | 3,293 | 4,477 | 4,699 | 10,769 | 11,303 | 15,367 | 36,223 | 51,689 | 124,333 | 398,453 | 418,211 | 568,579 | 1,367,663 | 4,600,321 | 50,603,531 |
| -1 | -11 | -37 | -89 | -121 | -127 | -407 | -979 | -1,397 | -3,293 | -4,477 | -4,699 | -10,769 | -11,303 | -15,367 | -36,223 | -51,689 | -124,333 | -398,453 | -418,211 | -568,579 | -1,367,663 | -4,600,321 | -50,603,531 |
