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 50,967,355, 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 | 50,967,355 | |
| -1 | -50,967,355 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 50,967,355.
Example:
1 x 50,967,355 = 50,967,355
and
-1 x -50,967,355 = 50,967,355
Notice both answers equal 50,967,355
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 50,967,355 and divide it by 2:
50,967,355 ÷ 2 = 25,483,677.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,483,677.5 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 | 50,967,355 | |
| -1 | -50,967,355 |
Now, we try dividing 50,967,355 by 3:
50,967,355 ÷ 3 = 16,989,118.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,989,118.3333 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 | 50,967,355 | |
| -1 | -50,967,355 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
50,967,355 ÷ 4 = 12,741,838.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,741,838.75 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 | 50,967,355 | |
| -1 | 50,967,355 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 29 | 145 | 313 | 1,123 | 1,565 | 5,615 | 9,077 | 32,567 | 45,385 | 162,835 | 351,499 | 1,757,495 | 10,193,471 | 50,967,355 |
| -1 | -5 | -29 | -145 | -313 | -1,123 | -1,565 | -5,615 | -9,077 | -32,567 | -45,385 | -162,835 | -351,499 | -1,757,495 | -10,193,471 | -50,967,355 |
