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 50,682,875, 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 | 50,682,875 | |
| -1 | -50,682,875 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,682,875.
Example:
1 x 50,682,875 = 50,682,875
and
-1 x -50,682,875 = 50,682,875
Notice both answers equal 50,682,875
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,682,875 and divide it by 2:
50,682,875 ÷ 2 = 25,341,437.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,341,437.5 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 | 50,682,875 | |
| -1 | -50,682,875 |
Now, we try dividing 50,682,875 by 3:
50,682,875 ÷ 3 = 16,894,291.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,894,291.6667 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 | 50,682,875 | |
| -1 | -50,682,875 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,682,875 ÷ 4 = 12,670,718.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,670,718.75 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 | 50,682,875 | |
| -1 | 50,682,875 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 139 | 695 | 2,917 | 3,475 | 14,585 | 17,375 | 72,925 | 364,625 | 405,463 | 2,027,315 | 10,136,575 | 50,682,875 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -139 | -695 | -2,917 | -3,475 | -14,585 | -17,375 | -72,925 | -364,625 | -405,463 | -2,027,315 | -10,136,575 | -50,682,875 |
