Factor Tree of 156

Given number is 156
The factor tree of 156 is as follows:

	156
2		78
	2		39
		3		13

156 = 2 x 78

78 = 2 x 39

39 = 3 x 13

If we write into multiples it would be 156 x 2

On splitting 78 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 39 x 2.

On splitting 39 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 13 x 3.

Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.

• Factor Tree of 157
• Factor Tree of 158
• Factor Tree of 159
• Factor Tree of 160
• Factor Tree of 161

Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 156. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
