Given number is 204
The factor tree of 204 is as follows:
204 | ||||||||||
2 | 102 | |||||||||
2 | 51 | |||||||||
3 | 17 | |||||||||
204 = 2 x 102
102 = 2 x 51
51 = 3 x 17
If we write into multiples it would be 204 x 2
On splitting 102 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 51 x 2.
On splitting 51 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 3.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 204. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
