you call it a square root. that's so corny but true.

First, pick a factor pair whose product is 246. Then, for each number that is not prime, choose a factor pair for it. Continue until you have reduced each branch of the tree to prime numbers. Here is a factor tree OS 246, using periods for spacing: ....246 ...../ \ ...6 x 41 ../ \ 2 x 3 The prime factors are 2, 3, and 41.

The square root of 64.36 is an irrational number. Consequently you cannot find the root using a factor tree.
The square root of 900 is 30 and it is a factor of 900
147 49,3 7,7,3 The square root of 147 equals the square root of 49 times the square root of 3 which is 7 times the square root of 3.
A factor tree gives you the prime factorization of a number. If that number is a perfect square, the prime factors will be in pairs. Select one of each pair. Example: 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36 2 x 3 = 6, the square root of 36

A factor tree has factors, not square roots - unless they are integers.
