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 50,657,135, 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 | 50,657,135 | |
| -1 | -50,657,135 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,657,135.
Example:
1 x 50,657,135 = 50,657,135
and
-1 x -50,657,135 = 50,657,135
Notice both answers equal 50,657,135
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,657,135 and divide it by 2:
50,657,135 ÷ 2 = 25,328,567.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,328,567.5 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 | 50,657,135 | |
| -1 | -50,657,135 |
Now, we try dividing 50,657,135 by 3:
50,657,135 ÷ 3 = 16,885,711.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,885,711.6667 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 | 50,657,135 | |
| -1 | -50,657,135 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,657,135 ÷ 4 = 12,664,283.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,664,283.75 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 | 50,657,135 | |
| -1 | 50,657,135 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 19 | 53 | 95 | 265 | 1,007 | 5,035 | 10,061 | 50,305 | 191,159 | 533,233 | 955,795 | 2,666,165 | 10,131,427 | 50,657,135 |
| -1 | -5 | -19 | -53 | -95 | -265 | -1,007 | -5,035 | -10,061 | -50,305 | -191,159 | -533,233 | -955,795 | -2,666,165 | -10,131,427 | -50,657,135 |
