Given number is 128
The factor tree of 128 is as follows:
128 | ||||||||||||
2 | 64 | |||||||||||
2 | 32 | |||||||||||
2 | 16 | |||||||||||
2 | 8 | |||||||||||
2 | 4 | |||||||||||
2 | 2 | |||||||||||
128 = 2 x 64
64 = 2 x 32
32 = 2 x 16
16 = 2 x 8
8 = 2 x 4
4 = 2 x 2
If we write into multiples it would be 128 x 2
On splitting 64 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 32 x 2.
On splitting 32 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 16 x 2.
On splitting 16 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 8 x 2.
On splitting 8 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 4 x 2.
On splitting 4 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 2 x 2.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 128. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
