In all but the topmost branch, they're mandatory. it doesn't make sense to put a Prime number at the top of a tree, since prime numbers don't have prime factorizations. The only prime factor of a prime number is the number itself, so the tree doesn't have anywhere to go.

How do you express the prime numbers in factor tree method?
Since prime numbers only have one prime factor (themselves), factor trees are unnecessary.
What is prime factor tree for 13?
Prime numbers don't need trees.
What is the prime factorization of 44 with factor trees?
44 11.4 11,2,2
What is a prime factorization of 44 using factor trees?
44 22,2 11,2,2
How do you do factor trees?
You break down the factors of a number until all the factors are prime. For example: 24 / \ 6 4 / \ 3x2 x 2x2 This factor tree was very easy, but there will be harder ones in the future. When all the numbers at the bottom of the tree are prime, you are finished. Factor trees may also be used to find the prime factorization of a number. PS: I'm sorry about the appearance of the tree. Once I published it, it became, and stayed that way. Real factor trees don't look like this. 24 is broken down into 6x4, because they are the factors. Since 24 is composite, you do not have to use 6x4. Then we break 6 into 3x2, and 4 into 2x2. Then 3x2x2x2 is a prime factorization. And you are also done with the factor tree!
Are you allowed to put a one in fraction trees?
I believe you mean factor trees. Ones are not helpful.

What is prime factor tree for 13?
Prime numbers don't need trees.
What is a factor tree for 2?
Prime numbers don't have trees.
Why can you make several different factor trees for some numbers but only one or two factor trees for other numbers?
Bigger numbers make bigger factor trees, and of course there are prime numbers which cant be factored at all
What is the factor tree of the number 11?
11 is a prime number. Prime numbers don't have trees. Their only prime factor is themselves.
Why do you do factor trees?
to help find prime factorizations of composite numbers
How do you make a factor tree of 41 with the final answer a exponet?
You don't. 41 is a prime number. Prime numbers don't have factor trees, since they only have one prime factor.
How can a factor tree help you determine if a number is prime or composite?
Prime numbers don't have factor trees. So if you can create a tree, your number's composite.
What is the factor of 3 using factor tree method for middle school?
3 is a prime number. Prime numbers don't have factor trees. The factors of 3 are 1 and 3.
What is the factor tree of 400?
We generally don't do factor trees of negative numbers, since factor trees are designed to obtain the prime factorization and negative numbers don't have prime factorizations. Here's 400: 400 200,2 100,2,2 50,2,2,2 25,2,2,2,2 5,5,2,2,2,2
