Factor Tree of 16

Given number is 16
The factor tree of 16 is as follows:

	16
2		8
	2		4
		2		2

16 = 2 x 8

8 = 2 x 4

4 = 2 x 2

If we write into multiples it would be 16 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.

• Factor Tree of 17
• Factor Tree of 18
• Factor Tree of 19
• Factor Tree of 20
• Factor Tree of 21

Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 16. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.

Splitting Numbers

We can divide the number into either of its two factors. In other words, we are looking for the numbers that when multiplied together eqaul 16. Let’s start with 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 as it results in 16 on multiplying. We will now find the factors or ancestors of split factors, just like in any family tree.

Prime Factors

Let’s take a look at 16 now and we can write as 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 and place those factors on the tree. similarly to prime numbers obtained in the first step 2, 2, 2, 2 obtained here are also prime numbers and we will end up these branches.
