A factor tree of number is (I think) the numbers that multiply together to form a product. They are prime numbers, too.
The bottom branch of a factor tree consists entirely of prime numbers.
Prime numbers don't have factor trees. So if you can create a tree, your number's composite.
A factor tree is when you take a number and bring it down to prime numbers. You do this by diving the number, and drawing to lines from the number and putting the two numbers that multiply into the starting number. You do that until you have all prime numbers. This skill can be usefull for greatest common factor and lowest commen multiple.
Their at the bottom of the tree because the hole point of a factor tree is to find the prime factorization of the number, so it would be at the bottom of the tree.

59 is a prime number and as such has only two factors: 1 and 59 A factor tree doesn't make sense for prime numbers since it would only have one branch: the number itself.

You don't. 41 is a prime number. Prime numbers don't have factor trees, since they only have one prime factor.

3x7=21 3 and 7 are prime numbers, so 3x7 is the factor tree of the number 21.
You cannot really make a factor tree for 7 because it is already a prime number.

It is hard to draw an actual tree on here. So ill do my best to explain it. To make a factor tree you need to get the numbers on the end of the branches to be all prime numbers. Prime numbers are numbers that can not be divided by a whole number any more to get a whole number. 426/2 = 213 [2 is a prime number] 213/3 = 71 [71 is a prime number... 71 is one of the more difficult numbers to find out if it is prime or not but believe it is prime] Now take all ofthe numbers that you used... 426, 213, 71, 3, and 2 and use them in your factor tree. Put 426 at the top of the tree. Make two branches with 213 and 2 coming off of these branches. From the 213 make two more branches making 3 and 71 coming off from these branches. If you do it correctly you will see the 2, 3, and 71 are at the end of the branches. All these numbers are prime numbers. Now you have you completed factor tree!
