Given number is 300
The factor tree of 300 is as follows:
300 | ||||||||||
2 | 150 | |||||||||
2 | 75 | |||||||||
3 | 25 | |||||||||
5 | 5 | |||||||||
300 = 2 x 150
150 = 2 x 75
75 = 3 x 25
25 = 5 x 5
If we write into multiples it would be 300 x 2
On splitting 150 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 75 x 2.
On splitting 75 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 25 x 3.
On splitting 25 further and writing it as multiples of numbers it would be 5 x 5.
Here are examples of Factor tree calculations.
Here we are providing different methods to find the factors of the number 300. 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 300. Let’s start with 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 as it results in 300 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 300 now and we can write as 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 and place those factors on the tree. similarly to prime numbers obtained in the first step 2, 2, 3, 5, 5 obtained here are also prime numbers and we will end up these branches.
