NEVER!
A factor tree is strictly division. Factors at the end of a factor tree should all be whole numbers.
That doesn't really exist. A factor tree is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest number that can divide evenly with no remainder into a given set of numbers.
IT IS PRIME there is no factor tree
factor tree of 216
Factor tree of 204
4 is a factor since 60 divided by 4 is 15, the others are not. To see if it is a factor, just see if it 60 divided by that number has a remainder or not. If the remainder is 0, it is a factor, if the remainder is non-zero it is not.
A factor = any number which can be divided into the given number with no remainder ie 1, 2, 61 and 122

It is a factor.
No, 5 is not a factor of 42. A factor of a number divides it evenly with no remainder. When you divide 42 by 5, it does not divide evenly and leaves a remainder of 2. Therefore, 5 is not a factor of 42.
The definition of a factor is a number that divides evenly into another number with no remainder. Since no factor has a remainder, the GCF definitely can't have one.
its self If you divide and get no remainder then the divisor is a FACTOR of the dividend.
