Write the composite number you want to factor on a piece of paper.
Write one of its factor pairs underneath it.
If possible, keep breaking each factor down until all the factors are prime.
All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is accomplished by dividing the original number and its factors by prime numbers until all the factors are prime. A factor tree can help you visualize this.
Example: 210
210 Divide by two.
105,2 Divide by three.
35,3,2 Divide by five.
7,5,3,2 Stop. All the factors are prime.

What is a factor tree and how do youknow when a factor tree is complete?
When the bottom branch consists entirely of prime numbers.
Is factor string the same as factor tree?
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.
Is putting honey on a tree trading the only way to get a muchlax?
No if you put honey on the tree then with luck (lucky egg) you will encounter munchlax eventualy.
What is the first step in finding the prime factorization?
Notice whether the number is odd or even. If it's even, the first prime factor is 2.
What is the factor rainbow for 9?
List the number at the bottom. Break it down into factors by placing them on successive lines above the original number. Stop when all the factors are prime. 7,5,3,2 35,3,2 105,2 210
Is there only 1 way to create a factor tree?
No.
Is there only one way to create a factor tree?
No.
Is there only one way to make a factor tree?
No.
What is a factor tree of 113?
113 is a prime number. The only way to factor it would be 113 x 1.
What is a prime factor tree?
A factor tree is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization. If completed successfully, the bottom row (branch) will display the prime factorization of the number you started with.
What is tree factor?
A factor tree is one way of notating the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number.
Definition of factor tree?
A factor tree is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number.
Why is 8 and 9 have only have 1 factor tree?
Factor trees are a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. Since each number has its own unique prime factorization, each has its own single factor tree.
What is a factor tree and how do youknow when a factor tree is complete?
When the bottom branch consists entirely of prime numbers.
What is a factor tree and how do you know when it is complete?
A factor tree is a way to notate the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number by writing the number at the top and breaking it down into factors on subsequent lines or "branches." The tree is complete when the bottom branch consists only of prime numbers.
Is there only one way to create a factor tree explain?
A composite number has a unique prime factorization, but there can be different factor trees that lead to it depending on what factors you choose. 36 18,2 9,2,2 3,3,2,2 36 6,6 2,3,6 2,3,2,3 36 9,4 3,3,4 3,3,2,2 36 12,3 3,4,3 3,2,2,3
How does a factor rainbow work?
A factor rainbow is a way of notating the process of finding the prime factorization of a given number. It's an upside down factor tree. Example: 2107,5,3,235,3,2105,2210
