Use a factor tree. 48 24,2 12,2,2 6,2,2,2 3,2,2,2,2
No because prime factors are: 22223 = 48
The prime factor tree of 280 is:140,270,2,235,2,2,27,5,2,2,2
factor trees and prime factor trees are the same thing with different names.

24 is a factor of 48. But, 24 is not a prime factor because it is a composite number.
83 is prime. No tree.
IT IS PRIME there is no factor tree
The purpose of a factor tree is to notate the process of finding the prime factorization. If a number is already prime, a factor tree is not necessary.
....................48...................../\...................4 x 12 ................../\ ...../\...............2 x 2 2 x 6............................/\ .........................2x 3 Thus, the prime factorization of 48 is 2x2x2x2x3 or 24x3.
