What is the prime factorization of 48 using a factor tree?

Answer 1

To find the prime factorization of 48 using a factor tree, we start by breaking down 48 into its factors, such as 2 and 24. Then, we continue breaking down 24 into 2 and 12, and 12 into 2 and 6. Finally, we break down 6 into 2 and 3. This gives us the prime factorization of 48 as 2^4 * 3.

Answer 2

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))

Answer 3

48

8 *6

4*2*3*2

2*2*2*2*3

Answer 4
