The complete list of factors of 50 is: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50.
To find the factors of 50, we need to determine which whole numbers multiply together to give 50. This involves finding pairs of numbers that, when multiplied, result in 50. So, we start from the smallest factor which is 1 and work our way up to 50 (largest factor)
1 × 50 = 50 2 × 25 = 50 5 × 10 = 50
The next factor of 50 is 10 but 10 is already paired with 2 and so any factors larger than 5 would already have been paired with a smaller factor earlier in the list.
So, the complete list of factors of 50 is: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50. These numbers multiply in pairs to give 50.
