Factor Tree of 240

Given number is 240
The factor tree of 240 is as follows:

	240
2		120
	2		60
		2		30
			2		15
				3		5

240 = 2 x 120

120 = 2 x 60

60 = 2 x 30

30 = 2 x 15

15 = 3 x 5

If we write into multiples it would be 240 x 2

On splitting 120 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 60 x 2.

On splitting 60 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 30 x 2.

On splitting 30 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 15 x 2.

On splitting 15 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 3.

Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.

• Factor Tree of 242
• Factor Tree of 244
• Factor Tree of 246
• Factor Tree of 248
• Factor Tree of 250

Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 240. 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 240. Let’s start with 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 as it results in 240 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 240 now and we can write as 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 and place those factors on the tree. similarly to prime numbers obtained in the first step 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5 obtained here are also prime numbers and we will end up these branches.
