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 50,650,255, 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 | 50,650,255 | |
| -1 | -50,650,255 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,650,255.
Example:
1 x 50,650,255 = 50,650,255
and
-1 x -50,650,255 = 50,650,255
Notice both answers equal 50,650,255
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,650,255 and divide it by 2:
50,650,255 ÷ 2 = 25,325,127.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,325,127.5 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 | 50,650,255 | |
| -1 | -50,650,255 |
Now, we try dividing 50,650,255 by 3:
50,650,255 ÷ 3 = 16,883,418.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,883,418.3333 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 | 50,650,255 | |
| -1 | -50,650,255 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,650,255 ÷ 4 = 12,662,563.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,662,563.75 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 | 50,650,255 | |
| -1 | 50,650,255 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 23 | 47 | 115 | 235 | 1,081 | 5,405 | 9,371 | 46,855 | 215,533 | 440,437 | 1,077,665 | 2,202,185 | 10,130,051 | 50,650,255 |
| -1 | -5 | -23 | -47 | -115 | -235 | -1,081 | -5,405 | -9,371 | -46,855 | -215,533 | -440,437 | -1,077,665 | -2,202,185 | -10,130,051 | -50,650,255 |
