Given number is 264
The factor tree of 264 is as follows:
264 | ||||||||||
2 | 132 | |||||||||
2 | 66 | |||||||||
2 | 33 | |||||||||
3 | 11 | |||||||||
264 = 2 x 132
132 = 2 x 66
66 = 2 x 33
33 = 3 x 11
If we write into multiples it would be 264 x 2
On splitting 132 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 66 x 2.
On splitting 66 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 33 x 2.
On splitting 33 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 11 x 3.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 264. They are splitting numbers and prime factors.
