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.
32 x 29 = 261
2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 29
The factor pairs of 29 are 1 and 29. 29 is prime so it has only one factor pair.
IT IS PRIME there is no factor tree
29 is prime. No tree.
1 and 29 because 29 is a prime number
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.
87 3,29 Not much of a tree. More like a factor shrub.
873 x 29Since both 3 and 29 are prime numbers, the factor tree is complete.
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.

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
