Given number is 18
The factor tree of 18 is as follows:
18 | |||||||||
2 | 9 | ||||||||
3 | 3 | ||||||||
18 = 2 x 9
9 = 3 x 3
If we write into multiples it would be 18 x 2
On splitting 9 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 3.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 18. 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 18. Let’s start with 2 x 3 x 3 as it results in 18 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 18 now and we can write as 2 x 3 x 3 and place those factors on the tree. similarly to prime numbers obtained in the first step 2, 3, 3 obtained here are also prime numbers and we will end up these branches.
