How many different ways can 50 players in a marching band be arranged in rectangle arrangements?

This has something to do with factors. A hint I got was we have to list factors from 1 to 49

If they have to be in a rectangle, what sorts of side lengths (in terms of the numbers of people) can you have? For instance, you could make five rows of ten people. Can you make any number of rows with, say, 12 people each? ;)
