Given number is 243
The factor tree of 243 is as follows:
243 | ||||||||||
3 | 81 | |||||||||
3 | 27 | |||||||||
3 | 9 | |||||||||
3 | 3 | |||||||||
243 = 3 x 81
81 = 3 x 27
27 = 3 x 9
9 = 3 x 3
If we write into multiples it would be 243 x 3
On splitting 81 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 27 x 3.
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.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 243. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
