Well, I'm sorry but you can't actually derive the formula for momentum.
Momentum was a defined physical quantity
Thus, for particle like objects, the definition of a property called momentum was defined as product of mass and it's velocity
So, yeah hope this helps you !

Momentum measures the 'motion content' of an object, and is based on the product of an object's mass and velocity. Momentum doubles, for example, when velocity doubles. Similarly, if two objects are moving with the same velocity, one with twice the mass of the other also has twice the momentum.
Force, on the other hand, is the push or pull that is applied to an object to CHANGE its momentum. Newton's second law of motion defines force as the product of mass times ACCELERATION (vs. velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time, you can connect the two concepts with the following relationship:
force = mass x (velocity / time) = (mass x velocity) / time = momentum / time
Multiplying both sides of this equation by time:
force x time = momentum
