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 51,350,035, 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 | 51,350,035 | |
| -1 | -51,350,035 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 51,350,035.
Example:
1 x 51,350,035 = 51,350,035
and
-1 x -51,350,035 = 51,350,035
Notice both answers equal 51,350,035
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 51,350,035 and divide it by 2:
51,350,035 ÷ 2 = 25,675,017.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 25,675,017.5 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 | 51,350,035 | |
| -1 | -51,350,035 |
Now, we try dividing 51,350,035 by 3:
51,350,035 ÷ 3 = 17,116,678.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 17,116,678.3333 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 | 51,350,035 | |
| -1 | -51,350,035 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
51,350,035 ÷ 4 = 12,837,508.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,837,508.75 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 | 51,350,035 | |
| -1 | 51,350,035 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 55 | 131 | 655 | 1,441 | 7,127 | 7,205 | 35,635 | 78,397 | 391,985 | 933,637 | 4,668,185 | 10,270,007 | 51,350,035 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -55 | -131 | -655 | -1,441 | -7,127 | -7,205 | -35,635 | -78,397 | -391,985 | -933,637 | -4,668,185 | -10,270,007 | -51,350,035 |
