Given number is 1020
The factor tree of 1020 is as follows:
1020 | ||||||||||
2 | 510 | |||||||||
2 | 255 | |||||||||
3 | 85 | |||||||||
5 | 17 | |||||||||
1020 = 2 x 510
510 = 2 x 255
255 = 3 x 85
85 = 5 x 17
If we write into multiples it would be 1020 x 2
On splitting 510 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 255 x 2.
On splitting 255 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 85 x 3.
On splitting 85 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 1020. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
