Factor trees are useful to see all of the factors of a number. If you end up with a composite, or un-prime number, you havent successfully completed the factor tree. for example: 50 10,5 you obviously wouldn't end here because you can break 10 down into 5 and 2 you finished tree would look like 50 10,5 5,5,2
10,5 2,5,5
