Given number is 140
The factor tree of 140 is as follows:
140 | ||||||||||
2 | 70 | |||||||||
2 | 35 | |||||||||
5 | 7 | |||||||||
140 = 2 x 70
70 = 2 x 35
35 = 5 x 7
If we write into multiples it would be 140 x 2
On splitting 70 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 35 x 2.
On splitting 35 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 7 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 140. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
