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.

How will you know that a factor tree is not complete?
A factor tree isn't complete until all the factors are prime. If any of the factors are composite, you know the factor tree is not complete.
What is a factor tree and how do youknow when a factor tree is complete?
A factor tree is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. A factor tree is complete when the bottom branch (row) consists entirely of prime numbers.
What is a factor tree and how do you know when a factor tree a completed?
21
Does it matter what two factor you select to complete a factor tree?
no it does not matter what two factors you select to complete a factor tree (i just learned that today in class :D)
What is the factor tree for 87?
873 x 29Since both 3 and 29 are prime numbers, the factor tree is complete.
What is a factor tree and how do you when its 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.
What is the factor tree for 78?
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.
What is the factor tree of 253?
253 11 x 23 Both 11 and 23 are prime numbers, so the factor tree is complete.
What is the factor tree for 133?
133 7 x 19 Both 7 and 19 are prime numbers, so the factor tree is complete.
Does matter what two factors you select to complet a factor tree?
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.
How is a factor tree is complete?
When the bottom branch is all prime numbers.
What strategy do you use to complete a list of factors?
you use a factor tree
