1 and 29 because 29 is a Prime number
29 is prime. No tree.
The factor tree of 29 would consist of only the number 29 itself, as it is a prime number. Prime numbers have only two factors: 1 and the number itself. Therefore, the factor tree for 29 would simply show 29 at the top with no further branches or factors.
It's not necessary for two reasons. First, 29 is a factor of 87 so it will automatically be the GCF of this problem. Second, since factor trees are designed to find prime numbers and 29 is already prime, it doesn't have a tree. But if you insist... 87 3,29 Here we have a factor tree, more like a factor shrub, that shows that the prime factors of 87 are 3 and 29. Since 29 is a factor of 29, the GCF is 29.
873 x 29Since both 3 and 29 are prime numbers, the factor tree is complete.
87 3,29 Not much of a tree. More like a factor shrub.
87 = 3*29
Here is a factor tree of 116: 116 4 x 29 (2x2) x 29 Now that prime numbers have been reached, it is complete. The prime factors of 116 are 2, 2, and 29.
2 261 3 87 3 29
factor tree of 232............232............./ \.........116 2........../ \........58 2......../ \......29 2the prime factorization of 232 = 29 x 2 x 2 x 2
32 x 29 = 261
29 is already prime. No tree. 87 3,29 Since there are no common prime factors, the GCF is 1.
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 29
