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.
A Factor Tree i believe
Yes.
factor trees and prime factor trees are the same thing with different names.
what is a factor string with 1 to 144
Factor strings don't necessarily have to be composed entirely of prime numbers. But the longest factor string, the one that is entirely prime numbers, that's the prime factorization.
The longest factor string is 2x2x2x3x13. It is always best to list your factor string from the least to greatest number.
The longest factor string you can make for 231 is 3x7x11.
The last branch of any factor tree of 30 will always be 2, 3 and 5 in some order.
A factor string is a name for a number written as a product of two or more factors. In a factor string, 1 may not be used as a factor. For example, a factor string for 24 is 2 X 3 X 4, or 2 3 4.:0
The longest factor string of any composite number is its prime factorization.
7*5*4*3*2 Is the longest factor string of 840
When all of the factors are prime. The longest factor string is the prime factorization.
