2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
25 = 32
33 = 27
23 x 32 = 72
32 = 2^5

When you want to find the prime factorization of a composite number.
Use a factor tree. 690 345,2 115,3,2 23,5,3,2
The only name is factorization.
The prime factorization of 93 is 3 x 31. Draw it however you wish.
Not really. A factor string is a multiplication sentence. A factor tree is a way of notating the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. End result: 4 x 9 can be a factor string for 36, but can't be a prime factorization. The prime factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3.
The prime factorization.
If completed correctly, the bottom branch of a factor tree will be the prime factorization of the number at the top.
factor tree
With a factor tree, yes.
13 is already prime, no tree required.
