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 50,828,045, 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 | 50,828,045 | |
| -1 | -50,828,045 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,828,045.
Example:
1 x 50,828,045 = 50,828,045
and
-1 x -50,828,045 = 50,828,045
Notice both answers equal 50,828,045
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,828,045 and divide it by 2:
50,828,045 ÷ 2 = 25,414,022.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,414,022.5 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 | 50,828,045 | |
| -1 | -50,828,045 |
Now, we try dividing 50,828,045 by 3:
50,828,045 ÷ 3 = 16,942,681.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,942,681.6667 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 | 50,828,045 | |
| -1 | -50,828,045 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,828,045 ÷ 4 = 12,707,011.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,707,011.25 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 | 50,828,045 | |
| -1 | 50,828,045 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 17 | 23 | 85 | 115 | 391 | 1,955 | 25,999 | 129,995 | 441,983 | 597,977 | 2,209,915 | 2,989,885 | 10,165,609 | 50,828,045 |
| -1 | -5 | -17 | -23 | -85 | -115 | -391 | -1,955 | -25,999 | -129,995 | -441,983 | -597,977 | -2,209,915 | -2,989,885 | -10,165,609 | -50,828,045 |
