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 50,677,655, 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 | 50,677,655 | |
| -1 | -50,677,655 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,677,655.
Example:
1 x 50,677,655 = 50,677,655
and
-1 x -50,677,655 = 50,677,655
Notice both answers equal 50,677,655
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,677,655 and divide it by 2:
50,677,655 ÷ 2 = 25,338,827.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,338,827.5 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 | 50,677,655 | |
| -1 | -50,677,655 |
Now, we try dividing 50,677,655 by 3:
50,677,655 ÷ 3 = 16,892,551.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,892,551.6667 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 | 50,677,655 | |
| -1 | -50,677,655 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,677,655 ÷ 4 = 12,669,413.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,669,413.75 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 | 50,677,655 | |
| -1 | 50,677,655 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 35 | 95 | 133 | 665 | 76,207 | 381,035 | 533,449 | 1,447,933 | 2,667,245 | 7,239,665 | 10,135,531 | 50,677,655 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -19 | -35 | -95 | -133 | -665 | -76,207 | -381,035 | -533,449 | -1,447,933 | -2,667,245 | -7,239,665 | -10,135,531 | -50,677,655 |
