(7x - 22)(7x + 22)
no it does not matter what two factors you select to complete a factor tree (i just learned that today in class :D)
When the bottom branch consists entirely of prime numbers.
The answer depends on what the factor puzzle was!
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(2a + 1)
3(x + 2y)
2010.
873 x 29Since both 3 and 29 are prime numbers, the factor tree is complete.
24 12,2 6,2,2 3,2,2,2
you use a factor tree
(a + 4)(a^2 - 4a + 16)
When the bottom branch is all prime numbers.
