How do I use 16 as factor trees to find the prime factors of each number?
16 8,2 4,2,2 2,2,2,2
Do factor trees always work for determining the greatest common factors?
If you construct them correctly, factor trees always work to determine the prime factorization of a number. Once you compare the prime factorizations of two or more numbers, it is relatively easy to find the greatest common factor of them from there.
Why cant you use 1 as a factor in a factor tree?
Factor trees are intended to find prime factors, one isn't prime. The process of factoring is intended to break down the number. Since factoring out one still leaves the original number, it isn't useful.
How do you make a factor tree of 41 with the final answer a exponet?
You don't. 41 is a prime number. Prime numbers don't have factor trees, since they only have one prime factor.
What is the similarities and differences between a factor tree and a prime factor tree?
factor trees and prime factor trees are the same thing with different names.
What is the factor of 3 using factor tree method for middle school?
3 is a prime number. Prime numbers don't have factor trees. The factors of 3 are 1 and 3.
Which factor trees show the prime factors for 54?
It is: 2*3*3*3 = 54
What are three different kinds of factor trees for 72?

Why are prime numbers on the bottom of a factor tree?
Factor trees are ways of notating the process of finding the prime factorization of a given composite number and, as such, should result in an identifiable string of prime factors.
What is the prime factorization of 11 using factor trees?
11 is a prime number therefore the only number that factors 11 is 1 and itself
What are the methods use in finding prime factors?
Some people use factor trees, rainbows, fireworks, etc.
How do I use 16 as factor trees to find the prime factors of each number?

Why can you make several different factor trees for some numbers but only one or two factor trees for other numbers?
Bigger numbers make bigger factor trees, and of course there are prime numbers which cant be factored at all
What is a factor fireworks in math?
It's a way to display the prime factors of a number, like factor trees and factor rainbows. It really doesn't matter where you write the factors on the page. What matters is keeping track of them. Pick a method that makes sense to you.
What are the 2 method of finding the prime factor?
Factor trees and factor rainbows.
