Factor Tree of 180
How to find the Factor Tree of 180
Given number is 180
The factor tree of 180 is as follows:
| 180 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 90 | |||||||||
| 2 | 45 | |||||||||
| 3 | 15 | |||||||||
| 3 | 5 | |||||||||
180 = 2 x 90
90 = 2 x 45
45 = 3 x 15
15 = 3 x 5
If we write into multiples it would be 180 x 2
On splitting 90 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 45 x 2.
On splitting 45 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 15 x 3.
On splitting 15 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 3.
