All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.
Example: 210
210 Divide by two.
105,2 Divide by three.
35,3,2 Divide by five.
7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.
2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
That's the prime factorization of 210.

Why cant you use 1 as a factor in a factor tree?
Factor trees are intended to find prime factors, one isn't prime. The process of factoring is intended to break down the number. Since factoring out one still leaves the original number, it isn't useful.
Can the number 1 be used as a factor in a factor tree?
No because you have to have a prime number besides 1 like 2,5,7 because every time you use a factor tree and you put a 1 as prime you keep getting one every time.So one can not be use as a factor when doing a factor tree.
