You break down the factors of a number until all the factors are prime.
For example:
24
/ \
6 4
/ \
3x2 x 2x2
This factor tree was very easy, but there will be harder ones in the future. When all the numbers at the bottom of the tree are prime, you are finished. Factor trees may also be used to find the prime factorization of a number. PS: I'm sorry about the appearance of the tree. Once I published it, it became, and stayed that way. Real factor trees don't look like this. 24 is broken down into 6x4, because they are the factors. Since 24 is composite, you do not have to use 6x4. Then we break 6 into 3x2, and 4 into 2x2. Then 3x2x2x2 is a prime factorization. And you are also done with the factor tree!
You need at least two factor trees to find a GCF.

Since prime numbers only have one prime factor (themselves), factor trees are unnecessary.

There are Two factor trees for 20
factor trees and prime factor trees are the same thing with different names.
Factor trees and factor rainbows.
Factor trees are for integers, not decimals.
Factor trees are a way of notating the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number.

Bigger numbers make bigger factor trees, and of course there are prime numbers which cant be factored at all
Factor trees of 44: ......44 ....../ \ .....4 11 ..../ \ ...2 2 ......44 ....../ \ .....22 2 ..../ \ ..11 2
The low light intensity of the forest affects the growth of pine trees. The light intensity is an abiotic factor, the growth of pine trees is the biotic factor. This is your answer.
