Use a factor tree.
Since prime numbers only have one prime factor (themselves), factor trees are unnecessary.

59 is a prime number and as such has only two factors: 1 and 59 A factor tree doesn't make sense for prime numbers since it would only have one branch: the number itself.
Every composite number has its own unique tree, so I guess the answer is all numbers have one tree. Perhaps you meant one branch or one factor. Prime numbers only have two factors, one of them is prime, so if you try to do a factor tree with a prime number, it stops the second you write the number down. And then there's one. One only has one factor, so we won't even bother with a tree. We'll call it a factor twig.
A factor tree of number is (I think) the numbers that multiply together to form a product. They are prime numbers, too.
11 is a prime number. Prime numbers don't have trees. Their only prime factor is themselves.
as you can obviously see the bottom of a factor tree would be the curious numbers of 2,2,3,5
103 is prime, so it's only factors are 1,103
NEVER! A factor tree is strictly division. Factors at the end of a factor tree should all be whole numbers.
yes
A factor tree will show you the prime factorization of 88. Comparing that prime factorization of 88 and another number will you show you the GCF between the two. You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
