Answer

Factors: $1, 2, 5, 10, 25$ and $50$.

Work Step by Step

Start with the number $1$. Divide $50$ by $1$. The result is $50$. $50=1\cdot 50$ $1$ and $50$ are factors of $50$. Divide $50$ by $2$. The result is $25$. $50=2\cdot 25$ $2$ and $25$ are factors of $50$. Divide $50$ by $3$. The result is $16.67$ (not a whole number). $3$ does not divide evenly into $50$. Divide $50$ by $4$. The result is $12.5$ (not a whole number). $4$ does not divide evenly into $50$. Divide $50$ by $5$. The result is $10$. $50=5\cdot 10$ $5$ and $10$ are additional factors of $50$. Finally, divide $50$ by $6$, which equals $8.33$ (not a whole number). $6$ does not divide evenly into $50$ Thus, the factors of $50$ are $1, 2, 5, 10, 25$ and $50$.
