What is the factor tree for a composite number?

Answer 1

Oh honey, a factor tree is like a family tree for numbers. You start with the number on top and then branch out into its factors, breaking it down into smaller numbers until you can't break it down anymore. It's like a math version of "Who's Your Daddy?" for numbers.

Answer 2

A factor tree is a way of notating the process of finding the prime factorization of any composite number. Example: 210

210

105,2

35,3,2

7,5,3,2

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210
