I was looking into the formula for TS% and I was wondering where the 50, and .44 multiples come into play in the equation? What do they represent?

TS% True Shooting Percentage calculates what a player’s shooting percentage would be if we accounted for free throws and 3-pointers. True Shooting Percentage = (Total points x 50) divided by [(FGA + (FTA x 0.44)]

50 just turns it into a "percentage." The .44 is an estimate of the importance of a free throw attempt relative to a field goal attempt. If you think of a free throw attempt as half a field goal attempt (1 point is half of 2), the .44 is based off of that while taking into account And1s, etc.
