A factor tree is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number by writing the number at the top and breaking it down into factors on subsequent lines or "branches." The tree is complete when the bottom branch consists only of prime numbers.
A Factor tree is when you put your number there and then find what makes that answer, you know it is done when you have all prime numbers. ~6th grader @ Celia Hays Elementary
When the bottom branch consists entirely of prime numbers.
no it does not matter what two factors you select to complete a factor tree (i just learned that today in class :D)
21
873 x 29Since both 3 and 29 are prime numbers, the factor tree is complete.
A factor tree is a representation of the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. It's complete when the bottom branch consists entirely of prime numbers.
A factor tree of 78: 78 6 x 13 (2x3) x 13 Since 2, 3, and 13 are prime numbers, the factor tree is complete.
253 11 x 23 Both 11 and 23 are prime numbers, so the factor tree is complete.
133 7 x 19 Both 7 and 19 are prime numbers, so the factor tree is complete.
Yes. Factors that complete a factor tree need to be prime. However, it doesn't matter what two factors you select to start a factor tree.
When the bottom branch is all prime numbers.
you use a factor tree
125 5 x 25 5 x (5x5) Since 5 is a prime number, the factor tree is complete.
