Factor Tree of 272
How to find the Factor Tree of 272
Given number is 272
The factor tree of 272 is as follows:
| 272 | ||||||||||
| 2 | 136 | |||||||||
| 2 | 68 | |||||||||
| 2 | 34 | |||||||||
| 2 | 17 | |||||||||
272 = 2 x 136
136 = 2 x 68
68 = 2 x 34
34 = 2 x 17
If we write into multiples it would be 272 x 2
On splitting 136 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 68 x 2.
On splitting 68 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 34 x 2.
On splitting 34 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 17 x 2.
