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 50,675,233, 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 | 50,675,233 | |
| -1 | -50,675,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,675,233.
Example:
1 x 50,675,233 = 50,675,233
and
-1 x -50,675,233 = 50,675,233
Notice both answers equal 50,675,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,675,233 and divide it by 2:
50,675,233 ÷ 2 = 25,337,616.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,337,616.5 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 | 50,675,233 | |
| -1 | -50,675,233 |
Now, we try dividing 50,675,233 by 3:
50,675,233 ÷ 3 = 16,891,744.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,891,744.3333 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 | 50,675,233 | |
| -1 | -50,675,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,675,233 ÷ 4 = 12,668,808.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,668,808.25 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 | 50,675,233 | |
| -1 | 50,675,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 23 | 161 | 163 | 1,141 | 1,931 | 3,749 | 13,517 | 26,243 | 44,413 | 310,891 | 314,753 | 2,203,271 | 7,239,319 | 50,675,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -23 | -161 | -163 | -1,141 | -1,931 | -3,749 | -13,517 | -26,243 | -44,413 | -310,891 | -314,753 | -2,203,271 | -7,239,319 | -50,675,233 |
