48
6 x 8
(2x3) x (2x4)
(2x3) x (2 x (2x2))
Since 2 and 3 are prime numbers, the factor tree is complete.
Another version of a factor tree of 48 is
48
3 x 16
3 x (4x4)
3 x ((2x2) x (2x2))
48
8 *6
4*2*3*2
2*2*2*2*3
Use a factor tree.
48 Divide by two.
24,2 Divide by two.
12,2,2 Divide by two.
6,2,2,2 Divide by two.
3,2,2,2,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.

The only name is factorization.
Not really. A factor string is a multiplication sentence. A factor tree is a way of notating the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. End result: 4 x 9 can be a factor string for 36, but can't be a prime factorization. The prime factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3.
When you want to find the prime factorization of a composite number.
if its a math one i say prime factorization.
The prime factorization.

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