Factor Tree of 120
How to find the Factor Tree of 120
Given number is 120
The factor tree of 120 is as follows:
| 120 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 60 | |||||||||
| 2 | 30 | |||||||||
| 2 | 15 | |||||||||
| 3 | 5 | |||||||||
120 = 2 x 60
60 = 2 x 30
30 = 2 x 15
15 = 3 x 5
If we write into multiples it would be 120 x 2
On splitting 60 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 30 x 2.
On splitting 30 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 15 x 2.
On splitting 15 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 3.
