Prime Factor tree of 63.
We note that '63' is an odd number , because it does NOT end in 0,2,4,6,8
So it will not divide by ;2
So we try the next Prime number, which is '3'
3)63 = 21 Keep on dividing by '3' until it will not divide any further by '3'
3)21 = 7 Since '3' will not divide into '7' and '7' is a prime number, divide '7' into itself , to reduce to '1'
7)7 = 1
So the prime factor tree/stepladder of '63' is 3,3,7.
This can be expressed as 3^(2) x 7^(1) = 3^(2) x 7 .

The prime factorization.
2x2x222
51 3,17
by using a prime factor tree
88 44,2 22,2,2 11,2,2,2
It is: 3*17 = 51
27 9,3 3,3,3
956 478,2 239,2,2
52 26,2 13,2,2
92 46,2 23,2,2
28 14,2 7,2,2
That's prime factorization. 45 15,3 5,3,3
