Factor Tree of 216

Given number is 216
The factor tree of 216 is as follows:

	216
2		108
	2		54
		2		27
			3		9
				3		3

216 = 2 x 108

108 = 2 x 54

54 = 2 x 27

27 = 3 x 9

9 = 3 x 3

If we write into multiples it would be 216 x 2

On splitting 108 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 54 x 2.

On splitting 54 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 27 x 2.

On splitting 27 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 9 x 3.

On splitting 9 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 3 x 3.

Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.

• Factor Tree of 218
• Factor Tree of 220
